Fishman PRF-CO8-SB2 Fluence Open Core Classic Humbucker Pickup 8-String Set Black

Three Distinct Voices for Heavy Rhythm, Clean Detail and Single-Coil Clarity

The Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic 8-String Set gives extended-range players three selectable voices, moving from powerful humbucker tones to bright single-coil sounds without changing pickups. Active electronics keep the response clear and dynamic while minimising buzz, making the set especially useful with high gain and longer cable runs.

Voice 1 delivers the highest-output active character, with strong attack, tight lows and enough articulation to keep low-string riffs defined instead of turning muddy. Voice 2 shifts toward a more organic response, retaining punch while opening up the dynamics for cleaner picking and less compressed rhythm work. Voice 3 provides a glassier, brighter single-coil-style sound for clean passages and more open chord textures.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this 8-string humbucker set is best for modern players who need tight low-end definition and genuinely diverse pickup voices, giving one guitar enough range to cover aggressive gain, fluid leads and clear cleans.
