Mike's iconic Moon bass, a gift from Ozzy Osbourne, features magical pickups. Mike said, '...it has magic pickups that I've been unsuccessfully trying to replicate forever… Until now, with Fluence, it's nailed.' This bass has graced countless gold and multi - platinum albums, and its unique sound is well - recognized by many artists and producers. Thanks to Fluence technology, Fishman has reproduced that classic sound and more, meeting Mike's high standards. Now, he can tour and record with those timeless tones on non - priceless basses. Like all Fishman Fluence pickups, the Mike Inez Legacy Series pickup is Multi - Voice and free from the hum, noise, and inductance issues that trouble traditional wire - wound pickups. Features: Voice 1 offers an exact sonic copy of Mike's Moon bass, perfect for a wide range of music from Alice to Ozzy. Voice 2 provides all of Mike's warm, vintage tones. It comes with a 2 - band EQ for separate treble and bass adjustment, a blend pot with an easy in/out harness, a push - pull pot for volume/coil split, a 3 - way mini toggle switch for easy voice selection, and all components needed for the Fluence Bass wiring scheme.
Using this Fishman Fluence Legacy Series Mike Inez 5 - String Bass Pickup Set is a breeze. First, install all the included components according to the Fluence Bass wiring scheme. Once installed, you can easily select different tones. Use the 3 - way mini toggle switch to choose between Voice 1, which gives you the exact sound of Mike's Moon bass, and Voice 2 for warm, vintage tones. Adjust the 2 - band EQ to fine - tune the treble and bass as you like. The blend pot with an easy in/out harness helps you mix different sounds, and the push - pull pot allows you to control the volume and coil split. As for maintenance, keep the pickup clean. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth after each use to remove any dust or dirt. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity.
