I just bought a '90-91 Charvel Fusion Deluxe, with active Reflex pickups and a Schaller Floyd, for $200. I'm a big fan of the old Japanese Charvels. The great thing is that since the active circuit is not within the pickups themselves, you can use other pickups with the JE-1200 circuit. The Jackson active setup sounds nice, even though I hate the Jackson pickups themselves. If you wanted to ditch the actives, you would also have to change out the tone pots, which are 50k, I believe, rather than the 500k you would want to use in a passive setup. However, you might try spraying the pots with the proper cleaner (I'm not sure what it's called)-that often fixes the scratchiness problem. As such, you can't really replace that pot without ditching the JE-1200 as well.
