Have you actually tried it? Most active basses give out a signal which is totally compatible with ordinary amps; lower impedance, but low into high is good.

They do not go boosting the level; the voltage you can get out of a standard pickup with slap techniques is quite amazing.

If it's got a jack plug on it, try with no modification, then come back and tell us what's wrong with the sound (although if the answer is "it's too dynamic" I don't know exactly what recommendations we can give).
 
it works but

although i still get an ok sound just plugging it in to the passive input its not as good as with a active input.
in the passive input its quite noisy,hiss being the problem and it for some reason doesnt quite sound as good
possibly the differance in sound quality is the other amp is better but that doenst explain the hiss

thanks
