Description

The most coveted, historical Strat® tones without the hum. From vintage sweetness and clarity to muscular overwound punch, in the same guitar.Original and totally re-imagined, Fishman Fluence pickups are free from the hum, noise and frustrating inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire-wound pickups — revealing pure, uncorrupted and musical tone.

Each Fishman Fluence pickup has two distinct and useful sounds on-board. These sounds start with the revolutionary Fluence Core, the heart of Fluence tone. From this Fluence Core we then create the classic timbres and tone — colors you expect from great guitar pickups — as well as some you’ve never expected.

    TL;DR: These combine a lot of passive (dynamic response, not compressed) and active (hum silencing, output) qualities, plus two voices. Pretty great!

    I’ve always been a humbucker-only player, because of the 60-cycle hum and low output typical of single coil pickups. These pickups solve both problems perfectly! The Vintage voice works well for softer songs (although my idea of vintage is Peal Jam’s Betterman), while the Texas Hot voice ups the kick and output. They have the typical hum-silencing of actives, but maintain a strong dynamic response (turn volume down for clean, up or play harder for dirt) and compression-free sound like passives. They can even be wired in series (I went with neck+middle), which is a rarity for actives! The downsides would be cost and complexity of wiring, although that’s my own fault for adding a Fishman Modern Humbucker Ceramic in the bridge position (personal preference, not a problem with this set). This Strat set’s pre-amp is in the bridge pickup, which had to be moved to the middle position instead.

    Fantastic, non-traditional sound for a single coil-sized setup! Can handle active or passive/classic sounds (note: not actually passive), plus plus series wiring for a beefier sound. Drastic reduction in 6-cycle hum and other noises in general. I ended up settling on the Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker set instead, but that’s largely a preference. Both sets are hugely recommended.
