What kind of tones can I get from the Fishman Fluence Bass 5-string pickups?

The Fluence Bass 5-string pickups offer incredible tonal versatility. You can access classic, warm passive-like sounds, a full-range modern active tone, and a unique "Funk" voice with scooped mids. This multi-voice technology, combined with hum-free performance, allows your 5-string bass to deliver a wide array of professional sounds suitable for any musical style.

Do Fishman Fluence Bass 5-string pickups require a battery?

Yes, as active pickups, the Fishman Fluence Bass 5-string set requires power for operation. You can use a standard 9V battery or an optional Fluence rechargeable battery pack (PRO-BPK-101). This powers the advanced electronics, providing a consistent, low-noise signal and enabling the multi-voice functionality. The active design ensures your tone remains clear and powerful, even with long cable runs.

Who are the Fishman Fluence Bass 5-string pickups designed for?

These pickups are ideal for 5-string bassists seeking a wide range of professional-grade tones without hum or noise. Whether you play classic rock, funk, metal, or jazz, the Fluence technology offers exceptional clarity, dynamic response, and versatile voicing. They are perfect for both studio recording and demanding live performances.

What kind of basses are compatible with the Fluence Bass 5-string pickup set?

The Fluence Bass 5-string pickups come in a standard soapbar format, making them compatible with many 5-string basses that use this size. Installation involves wiring for the pickups, control pots, and power (either a 9V battery or an optional Fluence rechargeable battery pack). If you have questions about fitting them into your specific bass, a Sweetwater Sales Engineer can provide personalized gear advice.

How does the multi-voice feature work on Fishman Fluence Bass pickups?

The multi-voice feature allows you to instantly switch between three distinct tonal characteristics. Voice 1 delivers a classic, warm passive tone. Voice 2 offers a full-range, modern active sound with enhanced clarity. The third voice provides a unique "Funk" tone with a scooped mid-range. Additionally, you can split the pickups for single-coil operation, which applies these same voices but with a Jazz Bass string window, expanding your tonal options even further. This versatility lets you adapt your sound on the fly for different songs or styles.
