Since the 1930s, electric guitar pickups have been wound with wire. But 80 years later, Fishman, a top name in amplification technology, has revolutionized the game. Fishman Fluence pickups are a brand - new and re - thought concept. They're free from the hum, noise, and annoying inductance problems that even the best wire - wound pickups face, giving you pure, untainted musical tone. Fluence pickups come in various types and shapes and can be installed on almost any guitar or bass. They're multi - voice and can be powered by a Fluence rechargeable battery pack or a standard 9 - Volt battery. The Fluence Bass Soapbar pickup set offers revolutionary multi - voice performance, wide dynamic range, and great articulation for 4 and 5 - string bassists. This set includes a 2 - band EQ with separate treble and bass controls, a Blend pot with an easy in/out harness, a push - pull pot for volume/coil split, a 3 - way mini toggle switch for simple voice selection, and all the components required for the Fluence Bass wiring scheme.

Using your Fishman Fluence 5 - String Bass Soapbar Pickup Set is a breeze. First, install it on your bass. You can power it with either a Fluence rechargeable battery pack or a standard 9 - Volt battery. To adjust the sound, use the 2 - band EQ to control the treble and bass separately. The Blend pot helps you mix different tones, and it comes with an easy in/out harness. The push - pull pot can be used to adjust the volume or split the coil. For voice selection, just use the 3 - way mini toggle switch. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickups clean and dry. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're using a rechargeable battery, follow the charging instructions carefully. And always make sure the wiring is properly connected to prevent any issues.
