      True. That's exactly what I thought... They just have more clarity. I found that they sound almost too harsh, which is exactly what you want out of a pickup. Better to have too much than not enough.

    • @brianburke808
      @brianburke808 7 лет назад +4

      I thought the Fishmans sounded very dynamic. You can especially hear the variance on the Modern Meat excerpt at 4:43. Tosin's playing dynamics, especially in his hammer on's/pull offs are *extremely* consistent when he wants them to be, and can be mistaken for compression, especially with what seems like active-PU level output on the fluences....of course, he could have had the Fluence's set in "modern" mode, which emulates active PU's, rather than passive mode here, but that would defeat the purpose of the shootout.

  • @suitsandstrings55
    @suitsandstrings55 7 лет назад +1

    I like that you're willing to
    1. Change when you find something better.
    2. Straight up compare with your old stuff.
    I feel like a lot of signature stuff just gets updated for the money every once in a while. The fact that you compare them honestly shows that you're just in it for constant motion and progression, not just searching for the last 1959 rusty bobbin or putting your name on a pickup cover.
    I'm not really an AAL fan at all, but when Tosin speaks I listen. Best player alive or ever, period.

    I see so many comparisons being made to passive pickups when in reality the Fluences are not passive they are active pickups. Now I agree that they perform remarkably and they have a tonal voice that is simply astonishing by comparison to some of the top dogs in the passive pickup realm. I would like to see how they compare to other active pickups on the market like the ever acclaimed EMG's and such to see if the Fluence's have all the bases covered.
    I haven't seen these compared to any other active brands of pickups and it has me intrigued as to why not?
    You sir are an amazing artist and of all the pickups that were compared to the Fluence in this video I would say that the DiMarzio equipped Ibanez was the second best sounding for clarity of tone and dynamic response to your playing style. It was also the closest to your Fluence equipped guitar's range.

    People still giving a lot of love to the Dimarzio's - in this comparison the low end between the Fluence and Dimarzios is the difference with and without gain. They both sounds killer but the Dimarzio's can't hang with bigger, more articulate chords. Listening to this on Audio Technica M50x headphones and the low end to my hears is over taking the other notes. Fluence are super balanced. Really dig them. Well done man!

  • @dreammachine86

    I recently bought Tosin's 7 string set for my Legator OT7F :-) Getting installed by my local shop over the next couple weeks. I imagine their tech will have some fun with it as he doesn't usually get Fishman jobs.
    It's cool to get an idea of some of the tones I'll get from this demo. Not that I will be able to play like this though!
    Going for the Fishman recommended wiring scheme, which I believe is what Tosin uses just with a tone pot in the circuit. But I have worked out my own little addition to the wiring - a 2nd push pull that will give me 3 further positions: bridge single coil in position 1, bridge single coil & neck humbucker in position 3, and bridge humbucker & neck single coil in position 4. Will be interesting to hear what those combination humbucker/single positions will sound like!
    I really enjoyed the sound of the Fluence Moderns in a previous guitar that had a mahogany body, lots of low end chunkiness. But the Legator OT7F is a brighter guitar with alder body/maple fingerboard so they seem to lose a lot of the dry growl I heard before. I was really surprised to hear how much difference the tonewood actually makes with active pickups. I couldn't make back the tone I liked with EQ'ing alone, so it seems like Tosin's Fluence set is the best solution. I use coil splits on humbuckers a load also so having the dedicated single coil voices (2 very different single coil sounds in Tosin's set apparently!) will be a bonus too.
    The Fluence Position 4 sounds particularly great in this demo. Has that single coil spank but still enough grunt & low end to play heavy riffs on too.

    I feel like I hear more of the actual note and fundamental with the bare knuckles, but with the fish man I hear a lot of the string noise rather than the note

    Hey there, Tosin! Not sure if you see these comments here, but I wanted to ask how do you get the second and fourth position on the fishman abasi to sound so clean with a more aggressive tone (im pointing more towards the tone on the woven web example), it almost sounds like it is totally noiseless.
    I have an abasi emi 8 and a custom 6 string and both of them with your fishman humbucker on the bridge, and position 2 is extremely noisy. Even with a strong noise gate, whenever im actually playing there is so much noise its almost unusable and it ends up being super frustrating because the single coil tones on those pickups is by far my favorite sound.
    I guess my studio is very noisy since it has so many electronic appliances around but I'm always surprised whenever I see you playing in those positions and it always sound super clear. I would expect at least a little bit of noise under it, but it never shows up. Can you share what is going on in the signal flow so that it sounds super clear like that?
    Thanks

    The sound differences between the guitars is too great. They sound so different that they sound like different presets, different input levels, more wet, more dry, they just sound too different on this end to form any kind of a reasonable opinion. But, you're there in the room, I'm sure that it's plain as day to you. Most of them sounded quite delicious, just different. From what I might be discerning, but am not certain of, the Fishman's probably do sound best.

    Thanks Tosin, your take on these is what's selling it. For the life of me I can't get enough info on any of the other videos, including those by Fishman, to make up my mind. But my clean sound is equally important to my gain sounds and your wealth of examples has been what made me jump onboard. I'm using a BC Rick Bich with only a single volume pot at the moment, and a 3 way switch, and a small chrome coil tap switch. I'm wondering if its best to wire them the using a modification allowing a 5-way to be installed (which I'm not afraid to do since the guitar is already fairly beat up) - or push pulls, and keep my 3-way.

    Now throw those other pickups in the black high end Ibanez that has the Fishman's. It's like a cereal box making the cereal pieces look bigger and more appealing than they actually are. They're great pickups, but this comparason is definitely biased.

    Each brand of pickups has many versions, right? So which version is he using? DiMarzio Super D, or Evolution, or PAF, which? This whole thing baffles me, it seems random and non-specific, and why not try all the brands of pickups they're testing with each song bit? Still love the video, very interesting and informative.

  • @emptea4437

      I agree. They're addictive to play feel wise . They have so much attack and a crazy dynamic mid range , even more touch sensitive then both passives and actives . Its made all my other guitars feel boring to play now some of which have 400$ bare knuckles . Everything else sounds almost monotone / flat sounding compared to fishmans . It's messed me up for life lol.

    Hm, so wirklich klar distanzieren konnten die sich eigentlich nur von den Bare Knuckles, die in meinen Augen doch etwas überbewertet werden. Werde wohl mal bei meinen AHB´s bleiben, die Fishmänner konnten sich in fast keinem Vergleich absetzen. Die meisten Unterschiede fallen hier definitiv in die Kategorie Geschmackssache. Was Tosin angeht ist er spieltechnisch ganz weit oben, allerdings hat der ja echt teilweise hässliche Klampfen.
