VERSATILITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE. THE FLUENCE BASS SOAPBAR PICKUP
BRINGS REVOLUTIONARY FLUENCE MULTI-VOICE PERFORMANCE,
DYNAMIC RANGE, AND ARTICULATION TO BASSISTS.

The Fluence Bass Soapbar pickup brings revolutionary
Fluence Multi-Voice performance, dynamic range, and
articulation to 4, 5, and now 6 String and Multi-Scale
bassists.
Based on Fishman’s convention-disrupting Fluence
Core technology, a single bass pickup can now
produce multiple timbres and sounds, each untethered
from the other. Original and totally re-imagined,
Fluence Multi-Voice pickups for electric bass are
free from the hum, noise and frustrating inductance
issues that plague even the most coveted wire-wound
pickups, revealing pure, uncorrupted bass tone.

Like all Fluence pickups, the Bass Soapbar pickups
are multi-voice and can be powered by a Fluence
rechargeable battery pack or a standard 9-Volt battery.
Additionally, Fluence Bass Soapbar pickups can be
split for single-coil operation or paired with our on
board Treble and Bass control to further expand the
tonal palette.

Voicings for the Fluence Bass Soapbar pickup were
created to offer players a wide palette of sounds that
cover all playing styles.
