The Fluence Bass Soapbar pickup is a game - changer for 4 and 5 - string bassists. It uses Fishman's revolutionary Fluence Core technology, allowing a single bass pickup to create multiple, independent timbres and sounds. Free from the hum, noise, and inductance issues of traditional wire - wound pickups, it delivers pure, uncorrupted bass tone. These multi - voice pickups can be powered by a Fluence rechargeable battery pack or a standard 9 - Volt battery. They can be split for single - coil operation with a Jazz Bass string window, and the included Treble and Bass controls expand the tonal range. The voicings cover all playing styles, with options like a classic, fat and round passive voice, a full - frequency active voice, and a funk - style active voice with mid contour. Features include a 2 - band EQ, a blend pot, a push - pull pot for volume/coil split, a 3 - way mini toggle switch for voice selection, and all necessary components for the Fluence Bass wiring scheme.
Using the Fishman Fluence 5 - String Bass Soapbar Pickup Set is easy. First, you can choose how to power it - either with a Fluence rechargeable battery pack or a standard 9 - Volt battery. When it comes to selecting a voice, use the 3 - way mini toggle switch. For more tonal adjustment, you have the 2 - band EQ with separate treble and bass controls, and the blend pot. To operate in single - coil mode, split the pickup using the Jazz Bass string window. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickup clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're using the rechargeable battery pack, make sure to charge it regularly according to the manufacturer's instructions. Also, be gentle when handling the components to prevent any damage to the wiring or the pots.
