Stephen is a true musician who focuses more on his music than gear. His signature pickup set offers a wide range of tones. Voice 1 resembles the sound of the original Modern Humbucker Fluence set. For Voice 2, it has more warmth and edge. Each Fishman Fluence pickup comes with two distinct and useful sounds, starting from the revolutionary Fluence Core, which creates classic and unexpected timbres. Stephen said he's not into specs but loves clean, full - sounding pickups. After jamming on the Fluence pickups for 45 minutes, he thought they were amazing and didn't want to stop playing. Features include: 1 ceramic pickup in the bridge position and 1 alnico pickup in the neck or middle position; all components for Stephen's wiring scheme (except the pickup selector); volume and tone pots; a push - pull voice selector pot for volume or tone position; and all wiring for installation.
Using this Fishman Fluence Stephen Carpenter 8 - String Humbucker Pickup Set is quite easy. First, install it following the included wiring. You can use the push - pull voice selector pot to switch between the two different tones. For clean and classic sounds, Voice 1 is a great choice. If you want more heat and edge, go for Voice 2. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickups clean. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you need to replace any parts, make sure to use compatible components. Don't forget to check the wiring regularly to ensure there are no loose connections. And always follow the safety instructions during installation and use.
