These Fluence Soapbars are a serious upgrade for players wanting a versatile and powerful bass tone. The active voices are surprisingly musical, and the coil-splitting option adds a great deal of flexibility. They're a solid choice for modern players needing a range of sounds from rock to funk, without sacrificing that powerful Fishman clarity.
