An article about Fishman Fluence pick ups
Formosa explains, “The instrument cable carries a capacitance—the longer the cable, the higher the capacitance and the greater the high-end loss. That’s not a problem with Fluence, because the pickup connects to a preamp, which acts as a buffer. Tone-wise, what you hear with the volume set to 10 is the same as what you hear when it’s dialed down to 2, only louder. A 10-foot cable sounds identical to a 100-foot cable. Want to use a 100-foot cable with your guitar volume set at 2? No problem.”
The writer concludes, “All members of the Fishman team emphasize that they are not rethinking the way pickups should sound, though they are reimagining the way pickups are manufactured in pursuit of that sound.”
“Our goal,” says Larry Fishman, “is to drive all amplifiers to happiness.”

excuse me Fluence pickups? I like that fact that they are quiet and have different voicings.
