Fishman has been at the forefront of acoustic transducer development and improvement for a long time. With the Fluence Series, they have brought that spirit of innovation to their latest line of electric guitar pickups. The electric guitar pickup has been wound since 1934, but Fishman decided to explore unwound pickups and has perfected them in this innovative pickup line.

Fluence pickups are free from the hum, noise and frustrating inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire-wound pickups—revealing pure, uncorrupted and musical tone. This is the Tosin Adasi Signature Set for 7-String, which features the most diverse mix of tones packed into any Fluence pickup to date.

The Tosin Abasi Signature Set is unique in the way it makes multiple coil combinations available in conjunction with the different voices. Even the magnetic circuit is tuned, with pole pieces and a blade magnet combined in the neck position for authentic single coil interaction.

For neck and bridge, Voice 1 begins with Fishman’s Modern recipe and fattens up the low midrange while adjusting the output level to Tosin’s taste. Voice 2 is bright and clean, with extremely fast and detailed top end for percussive attack and crystalline cleans. In the bridge, Voice 2 is a classic rock and hard rock tone that melts into any rig or mix. The cutting midrange of an overwound humbucker with the glassy highs of a vintage P.A.F. Then, the single coil modes each have their own unique Voice. The neck pickup is reminiscent of a vintage Tele, while the bridge pickup focuses on the quacky “2 & 4” tones.
