Active pick-ups are battery operated and have a hotter signal than normal passive pick-ups. IMO, upgrading to actives can make a huge improvement in the tone of a bass guitar, but tend to be a pretty big waste of money for a six string.
My reccomendation for a distortion pedal never changes: The Big Muff by Electro-Harmonix. Buy one. It's all you need.

Active pick-ups on guitars sound horrible. But I would suggest a Visual Sound Dr. Jykll & Mr. Hyde dist./OD pedal. It is a little more expensive then a Big Muff but it has the sounds of a Tube Screamer and a Ratt.
