Two Stunning Single-coil Voicings Join the Fluence Modern Family

Push the sonic boundaries of any humbucker-routed guitar with Fishman’s Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups! This set includes both a Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico and a Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic, each equipped with a time-tested duo of passive and active humbucking voicings to choose from. Furthermore, Fishman has seen fit to take the flexibility of each Fluence Modern pickup to the next level with a third single-coil voicing, adding up to a grand total of six voicings to choose from — and that’s before you even start mixing and matching alnico and ceramic tones! Fishman Fluence Modern pickups include everything you need for installation and are identical in size to most humbuckers, requiring minimal modification to be installed on standard humbucker-equipped guitars. To top it all off, Fluence Modern pickups offer up to 200 hours of uptime, allowing you to enjoy weeks of playtime without worrying about swapping out batteries.

A trio of ceramic-inspired voices

Generally preferred in the bridge position, Fishman’s Fluence Modern Ceramic Humbucker boasts three distinct tonal voices to swap between.

Voice 1: A screaming active ceramic humbucker bite with ultra-tight low end and a crisp, mud-free response. Sweetwater’s modern metal fanatics are particularly fond of this voice’s brutal onslaught of aggressive tones.

Voice 2: This voice is modeled after modern high-output passive ceramic humbuckers, yielding a slightly more open feel with exceptional dynamics.

Voice 3: Fishman’s Fluence Modern pickups now sport a sparkling single-coil voicing to complement the full-range warmth of its two humbucking voices. Thus, Voice 3 captures all the spank and grit of a bridge-position ceramic single-coil pickup.

Three alnico-tinged tones to choose from

Most commonly used in the neck position, Fishman’s Fluence Modern humbucker boasts a trio of versatile voices.

Voice 1: This mode replicates the high-output punch of an active alnico pickup. This voice will surely be your go-to if you’re after a full-bodied response with superb note-to-note definition and expressive dynamics.

Voice 2: Hunting after a classic neck humbucker tone? Voice 2 is sure to please, providing crisp lows, articulate highs, and a vocal-like fluidity when paired with your favorite dirt pedal or gain-laden amplifier.

Voice 3: Just like the Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic, this pickup now boasts a third single-coil voicing. Glassy highs, round lows, and unmatched clarity, this setting provides a stunning alnico-style single-coil tone.

Contains all you need for installation

Fishman Fluence is a revolutionary new way to look at the art of pickup building. These pickups require a power source and specially designed pots to deliver their wide range of tones, noise-free performance, and low-impedance signal. Everything you need is inside the package: you'll find the pickups, wiring, push-pull, and standard 25k potentiometers that are ideal for active circuitry and more. Installing a set of Fishman Fluence pickups is a quick and easy way to achieve your electric guitar's full potential.

Active electronics deliver modern tone — without the noise

We all love the sound of vintage pickups. That being said, buzz and inductance issues leave a bit to be desired. With Fishman Fluence Modern Alnico pickups, you can run hundreds of feet of guitar cable without any quality loss. Your volume control will operate with unprecedented smoothness, allowing you to milk useful sounds out of your guitar, even at low settings. To call these pickups "noiseless" would be a grand understatement!

Fishman Fluence Modern Active Humbucker 2-piece Pickup Set Features:

  • Cutting-edge multi-voiced active pickups delivers ultra-clear noiseless tones inspired by classic alnico pickups
  • Set includes both a Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico (generally used in the neck position) and a Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic (generally used in the bridge position)
  • Fluence Modern Humbucker Alnico’s 3 voices cover everything from modern active humbucking might to crisp alnico neck humbucking tones to classic single-coil sounds
  • Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic’s 3 voices supply tones ranging from spanky ceramic single-coil bite to tight and defined modern active humbucking sounds
  • Standard humbucker form factor and included parts make for an easy installation on most humbucker-equipped guitars
  • Can be powered with 9V batteries or Fishman’s optional power supply, supplying up to 200 hours of uptime

Want to make your guitar sound its best? Take it from the lifelong performers at Sweetwater and check out Fishman. If you've bought an acoustic-electric guitar, there's a good chance it came with Fishman electronics, but it's easy enough to upgrade your favorite instrument too - just ask the pros in Sweetwater's Guitar Repair Shop. Do you perform? Are you a singer/songwriter? We'd love to turn you on to Fishman's Loudbox amps and amazing pedals. But Fishman isn't limited to acoustic electronics. Many of us have tricked out our electric guitars with Fishman Fluence pickups and TriplePlay wireless MIDI systems too.
