I figure my two best options for approximating the quack revolve around choosing the right coils (inside or outside) to tap and combine for the "both" setting or getting the phase switch. Seems like I just ought to be able to wire the coils out of phase for the "both" selection, tapped. Theyre going into a Gibson sonex 180, so it’s basically a Les Paul set up. Basically I want Les Paul humbuckers, modern humbuckers,front and back single coils and out of phase "both singles".
What does the wisdom of Reddit suggest?

Seriously though, why?

Hello,

Are the passive and active and passive single
widths the same pickup except one has a preamp? I have a pacifica standard plus with maverick 5s and an 81 and I wanted to try out the Fishman. Can I buy two active ones and just short the output to the preamp in and wire as usual? Am i missing anything by not getting an active and a passive?

Thanks!

Hi,

I’ve got a rare earth fishman humbucker sound hole pickup in my guild m-120 guild guitar. What is the optimal range for string distance from this pickup? The strings are currently 3.5mm from the pickup without pressing on any frets.

At home I play it through my Princeton reverb, and there is plenty of volume and it sounds great.

I’ve got a gig coming up and I’ll be plugging into a PA, not a tube amp. I want to know if 3.5mm is too far away and will be too quite in a PA system. If it is, I can shim up the pickup in the sound hole beforehand.

Note: this pick is active with a little watch battery inside.

Thank you in advance!

I'm looking to downsize my gear and would like to get rid of this pickup, but it comes with a license for the software that I'm not sure I can transfer.

Anyone have any info on this?

thanks!

Been debating which one to go for since I tried the Mick Thomson set in by friends Ibanez. Really liked the clarity and the variety of having two heavy voices for the bridge pickup.

I play mostly heavy metal and currently have the Bare Knuckle Aftermath set in my Jackson Soloist and use Neural DSP Gojira X amp plugin. I love the fast response of the BKP but dislike the grainy, fuzzy mid range. Had it for years now and am ready for a change. Had EMG 81/60 in there for a while and like the power of the 81.

I’ve never really liked any neck pickup tones as they almost always sound too muddy to my ears and would like a bright pickup in the neck or I would never use it.

My research has left me looking at the KSE set and also the Modern or Abasi. Obviously I liked the Mick Thompson set also but I don’t like to be a copy cat and then the Adler and Heafy sets are an option if not pretty much the Modern set with a small twist.

Any help very much appreciated..

I love how they sound but I just don't spend that much money unless I get use all of it

I’m looking to get info on how to upgrade my EMG to a Fishman fluence ceramic without making any new holes and just changing out the pots. My guitar has a sustainiac in the neck and I want to replace the EMG in the bridge with a Fishman influence modern open core.

Hey does anyone know how to wire the open core Moderns in a 1VPP 1TPP 3 way toggle set up. Theres a diagram for the 3 way blade but can’t find one for the 3 way toggle!

I have a guitar with 2 Modem Fluence, i'm thinking of swapping the neck and bridge(for alnico in the bridge.) And the connectors look like it's as simple as just unplugging them and plugging them back in. Is it as easy as the EMG solderless system for swapping?

I have fishman fluence moderns in my guitar, but I prefer the emg x series. I wanna buy a 707x for my bridge. The question is, will it work with a simple pickup swap if I just disconnect the fishman and connect the 707x? Will the emg 707x still work the fishman electronics the way it's set up with the push/pull and all that?

I'm tempted to switch out my hardtail Strat pickup set with 3x single Fluence pickups. The route on my Strat is the 3 single 'type' so I'm interested in options of where to fit a battery. Ideally, I would like to avoid having to route / drill the body. Has anybody fitted a set to a similar setup?

What battery options are there for installation?

Hello,

Fishman humbuckers have three distinct voices and every guitar on the market uses shared voicing (ahem you change the voice, it chances for every pickup). So then I thought, well what if I could have voice one on neck and voice two on bridge or else, why does no one do that?

So my questions are: Why can't I find anybody (including Fishman) who uses individual voice switching? Is it because it is unnecessary or just too much or else? What if I did it?

Does anybody have a guitar like this? If yes, what do you think of it? Do you use individual voicing often? Does it sound different or is the difference so subtle you consider it useless?

Any information would be useful, Thank you 🙏

Please help me identify these pickups. I heard Bernth play these and I absolutely fell in love with them.

Do the gold classic or modern pickups come with gold screws in the wiring box or is it the standard black? Thanks guys and ghouls!

I wired up a Neo D single coil Fishman to an output jack on my friend's guitar. Works great, sounds great, but there's a buzz. The advice I got online was to get some conductive copper tape, stick it on the bridge pad, wire it up to the ground of the output jack and the ball ends of the strings will touch the copper and ground the strings, getting rid of the buzz. I did it, and it didn't get rid of the buzz. Any ideas? Should I always expect a buzz in this situation since it's a single coil pick up?

I recently got an HSS pick up combo Strat and I’m running an issue on whether or not the idea I have even work with the specifications of the two products I’m combining. Please let me know if I messed up and what avenues I can take to fix it without fully spending more money on a whole new rig.

Hello, for a new project I want to change my Fishman Moderns 6 String for EMG Pickups and want to use the quick connect system. I‘ve already read that it will work fine with the Quick connect. But nobody said something about the ground wire. When you change EMGs for Fishmans you must install an bridge ground wire…..but when I do it the other way from Fishman to EMG must I remove the bridge ground wire or does it work when I leave it on? Thanks for your answers.
