  • The Chicago Music Exchange and Fishman are proud to present "An Evening with Tosin Abasi". The Animals as Leaders' frontman stopped by our store to give an intimate performance and demonstration of his signature Fishman Fluence pickups.
    Tosin Abasi has mastered a wide range of musical styles and techniques, so it should surprise no one that his Fluence Signature Series Pickups feature the most diverse mix of tones packed into any Fluence pickup to date. Always on the cutting edge, Tosin’s tones defy convention. It took Fluence to unlock the sounds that have previously been stuck in Tosin’s head.
    “I’ve played active and passive pickups in the past. Fishman Fluence are neither of those things but a combination of both. These pickups fill the space where a lot of traditional pickups seem to let me down. This is literally a new design that is taking off from a space where no other pickup has ever come from.”-Tosin Abasi

    One thing that I've notice trough the years hearing and watching Tosin is that the technology for most of the things he wants to portray hasn't been made. Companies are actually trying to catch up to him. In studio you can make him happy and the final product is what he wants, but live is still on the works. Way ahead of his time!

      I saw him live at SoFlo Culture Room and they were amazing I was standing front Row and was in front of him his playing and concepts especially from sound and rhythmically are way ahead of the time. He is one of the most gifted guitarists of this era in my opinion. To chase him is to discover a new planet or even world so alien and majestic. Definitely worth getting his new Ibanez 8 string prototype when it hopefully gets put out in market.

      yes mas I agree...the pickups sounds good but he is innovating for the future, is how you are saying the technology is not made yet to what he relly wants, but is a big step for the future...is like tube amps some peoble are stuck in old technology(I like tube amps) but we have keep innovating to surpass things that we think tha we can't live without it...the future is look to the front, don't look back... (sorry my English grammar is not very good yet but I can talk well I think....XD)

    • @JediCrackSmoke
      @JediCrackSmoke 6 лет назад +3

      Not true at all. In fact I would say the technology, specifically the Fractal Axe FX2 system he used to use is a huge impetus for the music that he creates. Hearing trying to pull all this off with effects pedals now is just embarrassing and not nearly as smooth in the transitions that his songs contain compared to when he used AxeFX2, and this video is proof of that.
