Triple-voiced Fluence Modern Humbuckers for Your 9-string

Inject your favorite 9-string with a hard-hitting collection of the most sought-after guitar tones with Fishman's Fluence Modern active humbucker set! From modern active pickup sounds to crisp, fluid tones, these humbuckers handle it all, and unlike most wire-wound models, Fluence pickups manage to deliver that "Modern" sound without noise or inductance issues. On top of that, each Fishman Fluence Modern pickup provides you with three distinctly different voices, providing six unique sounds all from the same set. Give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call to learn more about the innovative Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers!

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 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!

Multi-voice Fluence Modern pickups offer six distinct voices

Fluence Modern pickups offer three unique, selectable voices in each pickup for unprecedented tonal versatility. The alnico humbucker's first voice is reminiscent of a modern active pickup. In need of a smoother, cleaner sound with perfect clarity? Flip over to the second voice for precisely that, reminiscent of a rock-solid neck humbucker delivering fluid tone without any flub. Rounding out the trio is a vintage-sounding single-coil, perfect for glassy cleans and twangy leads with zero unwanted noise. The ceramic humbucker's first voice offers a similar active humbucking tone with extra cut and crunch. Passive pickup lovers can turn to the ceramic's second voice for that trademark natural, organic tone. Lastly, the third voice provides a bulky, beefy overwound single-coil sound. The voices can be accessed by any number of standard switches or push/pull controls and can be added as a completely reversible modification to most guitars.

Contains all you need for installation

Fishman Fluence is a revolutionary new way to look at the art of pickup building. To deliver their wide range of tones, noise-free performance, and low-impedance signal, these pickups require a power source and specially designed pots. All of this is included with every pickup. Inside the package, you'll find the pickups, wiring, push-pull and standard 25k potentiometers that are ideal for the 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.

Fishman Fluence Modern 9-string Active Humbucker 2-piece Pickup Set Features:

  • Active electronics deliver "Modern" yet noiseless tone for 9-string guitars
  • Multi-voice Fluence Core provides 3 selectable voices per pickup
  • Alnico voicings: modern active high-gain humbucker, clean and clear neck-style humbucker, and vintage single-coil
  • Ceramic voicings: cutting high-gain humbucker, natural-sounding passive humbucker, and overwound single-coil
  • Power supply delivers 200+ hours of use and recharges in a few hours
  • Direct replacement design requires no permanent guitar modification
  • Wiring and pots included for everything needed right out the box
  • Also compatible with 8-string multi-scale guitars

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Fishman 9 string pickups

Extraordinary is the best way I can describe them. They really are incredible. The different types of tones available are great. Even the tone knob is actually usable! I am truly happy with my 9 string guitar tones.

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.
