Frequently Asked Questions
Fluence pickups offer a more consistent output and tonal character than many passive pickups, and the active electronics allow for more precise shaping, but lack the organic dynamic response some players prefer.
Yes, they can be used with a passive bass, but you'll need a 9V battery to power the onboard EQ and voice selection – the bass will function as if the EQ were always on.
It’s a very good approximation, capturing much of the warmth and character of vintage pickups, but it’s not a perfect replica – it’s a modernized take on a classic sound.
