Fishman Unveils Fluence Soapbar Multi-Voice Bass Pickups
Fishman has expanded their Fluence line of pickups with a new set of Soapbar multi-voice bass pickups. The active pickups, come in four and five-string versions, offer three distinct voices to cover different playing styles.
The “Classic” setting is inspired by vintage passive pickups while the “Funk” setting offers extra low-end punch with increased highs and a contoured mid-range. The third voice, “Modern”, produces a full-range response that is optimized for hard rock and heavy metal. Each pickup can be split for single-coil operation for more tonal options.
The Fishman Fluence Soapbar multi-voice bass pickups can be powered by a standard 9V battery or an optional Fluence Rechargeable Battery Pack. They will be shown at the NAMM Show and are available now for $259.95 per set.
