The Fluence Bass Soapbar pickup revolutionizes the experience for 4 and 5-string bassists, offering amazing Multi-Voice performance, a wide dynamic range, and clear articulation. Built on Fishman's groundbreaking Fluence Core technology, a single bass pickup can now generate multiple distinct timbres and sounds, independent of one another. These Fluence Multi-Voice pickups for electric bass are a game-changer, eliminating the hum, noise, and annoying inductance problems that trouble even the most sought-after wire-wound pickups, delivering pure and untainted bass tone. Like all Fluence pickups, the Bass Soapbar pickups are multi-voice and can be powered by either a Fluence rechargeable battery pack or a standard 9-Volt battery. You can split the Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups for single coil operation using a Jazz Bass string window. The included Treble and Bass controls let you further expand the tonal options. The voicings of the Fluence Bass Soapbar pickup are designed to offer players a wide range of sounds suitable for all playing styles. Features: Voice 1 (Passive) - Classic, rich, and round; Voice 2 (Active) - Full frequency and full dynamics; Voice 2 (Active with mid contour) - Funk, Hi-Fi scooped; Single Coil Mode - Same voices as above but with Jazz Bass string window; 2-band EQ with separate treble/bass; Blend pot with easy in/out harness; Push-pull pot for volume/coil split; 3-way mini toggle switch for easy voice selection; All components needed for the Fluence Bass wiring scheme are included.
Using your Fishman Fluence 4-String Bass Soapbar Pickup Set is a breeze. First, choose the power source. You can either use a Fluence rechargeable battery pack or a standard 9-Volt battery. To select different voices, use the 3-way mini toggle switch. It gives you access to various tonal options like the classic, fat and round passive voice, or the full - frequency active voice. If you want to use the single coil mode, split the pickups with a Jazz Bass string window. You can also adjust the tone using the 2 - band EQ with separate treble and bass controls, and use the blend pot to mix different sounds. The push - pull pot is for volume and coil split. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickup clean. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and moisture. If you're using a rechargeable battery, make sure to charge it regularly. And when you're not using the pickup, store it in a dry and safe place. Also, follow the included wiring scheme carefully to ensure proper installation and operation.
