Fishman Fluence Modern 7-String Humbucker Pickup Set - Black | No Limit Guitar Co
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker 7-String Pickup Set delivers revolutionary tonal versatility for extended-range guitarists, combining alnico and ceramic pickups that each offer three distinct voices ranging from explosive high-output aggression to crystalline single-coil clarity. This innovative active pickup system features the popular Voice 1 and Voice 2 sounds alongside a newly optimized Voice 3 single-coil mode, extending the sonic possibilities of Fluence Modern to cover an even broader range of tones with ideal split-coil character. Designed specifically for seven-string players who demand articulation and definition across the extended low end, this alnico/ceramic combination serves modern metal, progressive rock, and djent musicians seeking professional-grade noise-free performance without sacrificing dynamic response or tonal character.
Product Overview
The strategic pairing of alnico and ceramic pickups creates the ultimate foundation for extended-range guitar tone: the alnico neck pickup delivers all the musicality, power, and explosiveness of alnico magnets with full chord voicings and fluid solo articulation, while the ceramic bridge pickup provides cutting attack with brutal active aggression and organic passive punch in the same instrument. Unlike traditional wire-wound pickups that suffer from muddy low-end response and electromagnetic interference on seven-string guitars, Fluence's active electronics maintain pristine clarity across all seven strings with virtually zero noise, even during high-gain applications or when using long cable runs.
Each pickup offers three meticulously voiced options accessed via push-pull potentiometers or toggle switches. The alnico neck pickup features Voice 1 with ideal active alnico sound—full, round, and boosted with unprecedented articulation and dynamics; Voice 2 delivers the clean, crisp neck humbucker tone players have always wanted without thin or plinky characteristics; and Voice 3 provides glassy, crystal-clear single-coil character. The ceramic bridge pickup counters with Voice 1's ideal active ceramic humbucker tone featuring crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and aggressive growl; Voice 2 offers organic high-output passive ceramic tone with superb distortion characteristics and Fluence dynamics; and Voice 3 supplies bright, clear single-coil articulation.
The black plastic soapbar mounting format provides a sleek, modern aesthetic that complements contemporary seven-string guitar designs while ensuring secure installation in extended-scale instruments. With the optional rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, these pickups offer weeks rather than hours of playing time, eliminating the frequent battery changes that plague traditional active systems. The drop-in design fits standard seven-string humbucker routes without modification, making professional-grade tone accessible even for players with basic installation skills.
Ideal For
- Modern metal and djent guitarists requiring tight, articulate low B string response
- Progressive rock players who need versatile tones spanning crushing rhythms to soaring leads
- Studio recording artists seeking maximum tonal variety from a single seven-string guitar
- Touring musicians demanding reliable, noise-free performance across electrically hostile venues
- Extended-range players frustrated by muddy pickups that can't handle seven-string frequencies
Key Features
Six Voices Optimized for Seven Strings
The alnico/ceramic combination unlocks six distinct tonal characters specifically engineered for extended-range clarity: three voices per pickup ranging from explosive active high-output sounds to organic passive-style aggression to the newly optimized single-coil tones. This unprecedented versatility eliminates the need for multiple guitars while providing everything from brutal djent rhythms to glassy clean tones with exceptional low B string definition.
Enhanced Voice 3 Single-Coil Mode
Fishman has optimized the third voice in these Modern pickups to deliver ideal split-coil character that extends sonic possibilities beyond traditional humbucker tones. Voice 3 now provides glassy, crystal-clear single-coil sounds in the neck and bright, clear articulation in the bridge, allowing seven-string players to access vintage-inspired tones alongside modern aggressive voicings without sacrificing the tight low-end response essential for extended-range instruments.
Alnico and Ceramic Magnetic Pairing
This combination delivers perfect tonal balance for seven-string applications: the alnico neck pickup provides full, musical warmth with exceptional note clarity across all registers, while the ceramic bridge pickup cuts through with aggressive attack and tight low-end definition that prevents muddiness on the low B string. This pairing represents the most versatile Fluence configuration for players covering diverse musical territory on extended-range guitars.
Active Electronics, Zero Noise
Unlike traditional wire-wound pickups plagued by buzz, hum, and inductance issues that become especially problematic on seven-string guitars, Fluence Modern pickups utilize active circuitry that maintains pristine tone at all volume levels with virtually no electromagnetic interference. This noise-free performance proves invaluable during high-gain applications, extended cable runs, and electrically noisy environments where conventional seven-string pickups would compromise signal integrity.
Rechargeable Battery System
The optional lithium-ion battery pack charges directly on your guitar and provides weeks of playing time rather than the hours typical of standard 9-volt batteries. This extended battery life eliminates the frequent changes that plague traditional active pickups, making this system ideal for touring musicians and frequent performers who demand reliable power without constant maintenance.
