Description
Fishman built the Fluence Modern Humbucker to capture everything guitarists love about alnico magnets—musical warmth, dynamic response, explosive attack—while adding a level of clarity and touch sensitivity that traditional wound pickups simply can’t match. It’s equally at home in the neck or bridge position, and pairs especially well when set opposite a ceramic bridge pickup for extra contrast.
What sets this pickup apart is its three-voice design, letting you switch between distinct personalities without swapping hardware:
- Voice 1 – Modern Active High Output: The definitive active alnico tone. Big, round, and pushed forward, but with articulation and dynamic range that active pickups usually sacrifice for output.
- Voice 2 – Crisp, Clean and Fluid: Delivers the open, clear neck-humbucker voice players chase after, minus the thin or plinky edge that often comes with it.
- Voice 3 – Single Coil: A glassy, crystal-clear tone that opens up a whole different sonic character from the same pickup.
Because it’s an active design, the Fluence Modern Humbucker maintains consistent output and tonal balance across all three voices, so switching between them feels less like a compromise and more like having multiple pickups in one housing. Whether you’re chording through full-bodied rhythm parts or chasing fluid, singing lead lines, this pickup adapts to the moment.
