Mike's iconic Moon bass, a gift from Ozzy Osbourne, features what he calls 'magic pickups'. He's long tried to replicate their sound, and now, with Fishman's Fluence technology, he's finally nailed it. This bass has graced numerous gold and multi - platinum albums, and its special sound is well - recognized by many artists and producers. Fishman has reproduced that classic sound and more, allowing Mike to tour and record with those timeless tones on non - priceless basses. The Mike Inez Legacy Series pickup, like all Fishman Fluence pickups, is Multi - Voice. It's free from the annoying hum, noise, and inductance issues that trouble even the most sought - after wire - wound pickups. Key features include: Voice 1, an exact sonic copy of Mike's Moon bass for that signature tone from Alice to Ozzy; Voice 2 for warm, vintage tones. It also has 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 components needed for the Fluence Bass wiring scheme are included.
Using your Fishman Fluence Legacy Series Mike Inez 4 - String Bass Pickup Set is a breeze. First, install all the components following the included wiring scheme. You can use the 3 - way mini toggle switch to easily select between Voice 1, which gives you the exact sound of Mike's Moon bass, and Voice 2 for warm, vintage tones. The 2 - band EQ lets you adjust the treble and bass separately to fine - tune your sound. The blend pot with the easy in/out harness helps you get the right mix, and the push - pull pot allows you to control volume and do a coil split. When it comes to maintenance, keep your pickup set clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity as this can affect its performance. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a dry and safe place. And always make sure the wiring connections are secure to prevent any noise or performance issues.
