Checking the peak frequency on the fishman website, kse voice 3 is different from normal modern voice 3, also different from tosin's. However I can't find a video comparing them so I have no idea which one sounds better haha

That sounds so damn good! Fishman nailed it.

I am more impressed how you are becoming better and better guitarist day by day! \m/

Those cleans sounded amazing through my monitors! Well done Fishman! Dynamics, Dynamics, and even more Dynamics! Gotta get my hands on one of these soon!

I have Fishman Moderns in my LTD and my 2000 MIJ RG7420 and they can’t be beat!!! Such a bite to cut your head off!!! Especially for 7 string playing. Great video brother. Peace

This is wild! Thanks for another killer demo. I'm snagging a set for sure

For passive humbuckers, if you can wire up a pickup to switch between series and parallel it makes for a passable single-coil(ish) sound without the volume drop. Vola does this on some of their models.

i love the throw back "threeeee" i need to watch that dvd again

Your definitely my favorite youtuber your playing and guitar brand is amazing

This is why I love my Tosin Abasin fishmans, they’ve offered this single/split coil tone this whole time and sound amazing. Now that it’s gonna be part of the moderns though that’s definitely going to be great, especially because a lot of companies that offer fishmans stock in their guitars usually offer the moderns. Now they are versatile as hell

The Dynamics are incredible! I love these pickups

100% on voicing 2. It's the way to go. If only I had a tone knob I'd be interested in these new pups ;)

I have a late 90s carvin bolt that my dad gave me, and ive changed pickups like 6 times. I put fishman classics in them, with the 3rd voice. Fucking incredible. Also had a usb charger put right in the pickguard between the pickups.

Nice riffs Ola!!

Have a pair in my ec-1000 and they sound amazing. Very versatile

Glorious clean sound when it's split.

That little studder in 99 main riff always gets me. So good.

I have my Devin's wired to with a 5 way switch and the three middle positions are a tele. I bet you'd dig that set. They have less of that mid-range bark on the active side and the passive side sounds just like Adam Jones' tone. They're so good, Ola.

I’d love to hear a comparison between the splits on these vs the Abasi Fishmans. The Abasi’s are my favorite pickups, but this might even the playing field between the two.

Fun fact, the Matt Heafy Moderns (I only got because of the gold colored indent) 3 or 4 years ago have always had these 3 voices and were only $20 more for the set!

It’s got a set of Devin Townsend pickups in my Solar G1.6 and it’s a machine.. I had extra switches put in too so I’ve got voice one and two on push/pull volume pots for each pickup, a master tone knob and then coil split switches for each pick up underneath the volume knobs. The variety of tone is unreal. Plus I put pickup rings on them because I think that looks better than the regular ring-less look of the Solar G range. Btw, make a double cut! Take the G type and put an equal sized cut in the top part. I’d buy two in a second.

@Ola Englund You are a great dude!!! Really good presentation skills, "kinda". The guitar looks very good and will most likely be good value for money!

I said this when fishman fluence first came out, and I still can't tell the difference between the humbucker modes. Glad to hear that they're offering a singe coil option though. Fluence Moderns are now pretty close to the Abasi signature set.

The difference is subtle, but its definitely there, its more apparent when you're playing clean, the passive vocie is slightly warmer n not a ls tight, pretty sure there's a subtle shift in the mid frequencies too.

I got these but in the 7 string for Christmas and installed them in my Mark Holcomb Signature PRS SVN and wired up every feature along with turning the tone pot into a bass contour nob and I absolutely love these pickups but still have the trusty EMG 81 in other rugs

I’m a recent believer in Fishman and active pickups . Recently got the Jackson Dinky Evertune that has Fishmans, though I think they are open core classics? Anyway they’re amazing!

Alnico passives win for me completely, but if you're gonna go active, I've always believed in going with Blackouts. Seymour Duncan all the way home. But this is a great improvement for versatility. I bet these'll be in everything in no time.

Sounds amazing 😮 I would imagine these would be the most versatile pickups available on the market today.

Sounds decent sums up my feelings on Fluence pickups. Want to love them, great technology, super innovative and versatile, but none of the sounds are as good as good passives to me. Interestingly even though Moderns are super popular the guy I know at my local guitar shop says he finds people increasingly over them and having them swapped.

Ive tried a Cort x700 with that pickups and that sounded so f amazing

Nice Intro Ola!

Killer pickups man. They sound so good on recordings in that they voice perimeters as you hear them played through an amp. Beautiful tone & response. I Put’em in me 86 B.C Rich Warlock & it’s a whole new beast that wants to fuckin scream METAL

You need to sell that exact guitar with those pickups I’ll buy one!

man that guitar is freakin awesome

NICE opening riff!!!

just ordered a stranberg prog 7 and they stock with these moderns.cant wait

getting the new modern on the ESP I ordered. was going to get Solar lefty V but was up in the air about getting the extra complication of the evertune, ( I know its no FR so not that complicated) and Duncan pickups or these pickups on the ESP. In the end I went with the ESP because of Fishman and it was a bit cheaper after shipping and custom charges with Solar to Canada.

I was very skeptical of the fishman hype but I ended up installing the modern set in my current guitar which used to have passive Duncans and it was the best decision for that particular guitar. It sounds so much better and the versatililty with the different modes as Ola notes is exceptional.

On the original Fluence Moderns you could actually split them by soldering a few more leads to them and the split worked like actually splitting the pickup. On guitars that had them from Ibanez and Strandberg you could actually have splitted versions of both Voice 1 and 2, which made it even more versatile. So the new system of having it as a completely different voice is more straight forward but more limited

Any instructions for how to split the old Moderns? My Schecter has voice 2 for bridge and neck on separate push/pulls, and I'm wondering if I could rewire so one push/pull controls voice 2 for either PU, and the other push/pull controls split for either PU.

These are the same type that they're putting in the Epiphone prophecy I bought a V and while the pickups are nice and versatile. I just find that EMG does the metal thing a little bit better and that's no insult to those fishmen I don't even own a guitar with the EMGs at the moment

I just installed these into my LTD deluxe replacing my EMG 707/81-7. Best decision I ever made.

yup that's great!

Have to say that fishman fluence are my favorite pick ups. Even over a passive pick up

I would love to have an S2.6 in white with the black binding. It's so sad it's not available anymore.

We need some S Series baritone guitars, starting at 28". Would be huge.

Emg have had active pickups that split for awhile now. Just saying....

@olaenglund That KM7 MKIII Keith Merrow sent you way back had this feature with his sig set of Fishmans based on the classic set. Sadly a short lived set for reasons never openly discussed. I love the 3 voicings on my KM6 MKIII, so versatile and great sounding I don't play anything else now.

Instant set for "milton cleans", without needing a piezo pickup. I wish they did a dedicated separate push pull knob or switch for this feature, to be able to select split in N, B and N+B config which would really sound like a emo-tele!

That guitar looks goooooood. 🤘

It's cool that Fishman have made a dedicated voicing for the coil split for the Moderns, as it should convince the guitar brands to actually use it! I have a Cort KX507 with the Moderns, but not this latest set. It's wired up for both voice change on the volume knob, and coil split on the tone knob. It's a pretty cheap guitar too, about half the price other companies would charge for a similar spec. Yet hardly any of them seem to wire up the coil split. You also end up getting 4 different sounds per pickup that way, voice 1 & 2 for both humbucking and coil split. However with this new set it seems the voice 3 is actually optimised for a single coil sound, so it may take away a little versatility but the trade off is getting a much nicer & sweeter single coil sound, as we can hear in your demo :-) I'm a bit confused at how you wired up your Solar with the 5-way blade though! It seems you are using the blade switch to choose between voice 1 and voice 2? So the blade towards the bridge (position 1) is bridge voice 1, position 2 is bridge voice 2, position 3 is bridge & neck together (voicing unknown), position 4 is neck voice 2 and position 5 is neck voice 1? Interesting way to do it but if it's set up like that the coil split should work in any of those positions as it overrides all the other voicings, at least according to Fishman's documents. That's the one thing I don't like so much about the Fluences, they can be a bit confusing to understand how the wiring works. Personally it would be more logical to have the blade switch go be between the pickups and then have voice 1 & 2 on one push/pull and voice 3 single coil on another push pull. Simple with a 3-way blade, if using a 5-way blade that could give even more options like say having both inner coils in position 2 and just the neck outer coil in position 4. I believe that's how some of the signature artists do it with their own sets that have already had the dedicated voice 3 for a while. Of course there can be even more wiring possibilities like being able to choose between all the voicings seperately for each pickup if you're willing to have more push/pull pots or perhaps a 3-way toggle. I got a Schecter KM-7 III Artist recently with Keith Merrow's signature Fishman set. It has a 3-way toggle to go between the voices. I'm tempted to add another 3-way toggle so each pickup voice can be controlled seperaetly, enabling blends of different voices, say the spanky agression of the bridge in single coil mode combined with the smooth lead tone of the neck in humbucker mode. If I do that I would probably add a push/pull on the volume knob to instantly access both inner coils as that seems to give the ideal ambient clean sound. I've also found the Fluence single coil voicing to be ideal for thumping techniques. Like you say, it doesn't give that volume drop which is really handy when trying a technique like thumping that is hard to maintain a similar volume level to picking with. I've literally just started trying to learn thumping so I'm definitely sloppy with it but the Fluence tech really helps and makes it a lot clearer and dynamic. Funnily enough Keith Merrow has recently left Fishman and is using Lundgren pickups now; I got one of the last KM Artist models with the Fishmans. Just shows how everyone has different and sometimes ever changing tastes, regardless of how good the tech is.

Damn, that guitar is sooo sweet.

I resoldered my Schecter Solo II SLS Elite so the Voice2 is the main voice, Voice1 is enabled by pulling up the neck volume pot. Changed bridge volume pot to push-push. It enables the split coil mode. In this mode I enable coils that are closer to the neck. So now i have 4 modes of sound. But already ordered Lundgren Black Heaven :)

Dude I have an SLS Elite and that's exactly what I want to do. Did yours have voice 2 on two separate push/pulls, one for the neck PU and one for the bridge PU? That's how mine is wired and it seems like a waste. I want voice 2 to be default, and voice 1 to be on a single push/pull for both PUs, then another push/pull for split coil on both PUs. If I'm understanding you, that's what you did. Was it difficult? EDIT: Just realized you have two volumes pots, I only have volume/tone. So your setup might not be possible for me?

that clean sound😢 make me want to sleep❤

I still like the classics better, but as soon as they got all the voices I immediately crafted an HSH Strat pickguard & I have something like 12 different unique tones now. It's went from an average guitar to a session player's instrument overnight.

Wouldn’t mind trying these. Currently rock EMGs or BK.

These are nice. I think I prefer them over most active pickuos. I am very partial to Carvin/Kiesel pickups with the splits and phase switches for this reason. Plus they can be used passively, too. I do tend to like passive pickups more but these hybrid passive pickup types get the best of both worlds. But active pickups work really well in large venues with all the possible frequency interference and background signal noise. I see why so many arena bands use them. I also prefer full range pickups. Equalizing at the source makes little sense. You can't add in what has been taken away at the beginning of your signal chain.

Dang, those cleans sound legit with the single coil sound. I have the Open Core Classics in my 7 string and i dont think they sound this good!
