Fishman Fluence - Defined

Fishman

Description

Fishman Fluence pickups for electric guitars are the first real advancement in pickup system design in over 80 years. A new, analog, system-wide approach delivers great idealized guitar sounds that are also quiet and free from hum and other artifacts that affect our favorite pickups from the past.

Multi-Voice Change Pickups on the Fly
The nature of the Fluence Core also allows you to create multiple voices for each pickup, so every Fluence pickup has two selectable, complementary voices onboard. These voices can be accessed via any number of standard switches or push-pull controls.

Power to the People
Another example of the fresh thinking applied to Fluence is the way their power supply is stored and managed. Can you use a standard 9V battery? Yes. But where do you put it if your guitar doesn't have a compartment? The optional Fluence battery packs require no modification and screw on to your guitar in place of the control or spring cover. They offer 200+ hours of playing time and fully charge in a few hours using a standard USB charger.

Idealized Pickups
With Fluence pickups you can run hundreds of feet of guitar cable without any loss in sound quality. Your volume control operates smoother than you've ever experienced, and it has no adverse affect on your tone, allowing you to get musically useful sounds in the 2 to 5 region of its travel. No hum, no buzz, no spurious noise or frustrating inductance issues.

      I can appreciate Fishman pushing the technology of pickups. They seem to be well-built and look good. However, the installation was much more difficult than it should have been. The instructions need to be better for different guitar setups. They also take a lot of time to set up to get in the sweet spot of the tone, only to realize I paid that price to run in a big circle. Note articulation was a little better for amps that weren't set up well (too much gain or bass) but I could still get almost exact tones out of pickups that cost much less and are tried and true, and don't need batteries. After a few months of comparing them to my other guitars and pickups, I ended up putting the Seymour Duncans back in and sold these online. They're trendy and I'm not mad they didn't exceed my expectations, but for what it's worth, I'm sticking to what's been around for decades.
