Fishman Fluence Mod. Humb. V2 Set BKN

I got these as my first-ever Fishmans, after seeing a lot of hype and success of the originals. So with the version 2, I wired them onto a harley benton Dullahan and here are my thoughts

Pros:
- 3 voicings (Voice1: Active + Low gain pins, Voice 2: Passive, Voice 3: Single coils) and the sound is tight and clear. To me it sounds equally as nice as the EMG retroactive hot 70's, although the EMG doesn't have single coil voicing. While this still isn't true single coil sound, it's surprisingly chimy so I can appreciate that.
- they look SO FREAKING COOL.
- Comes with 4 pots (2 normal and 2 push-pull). All the parts in general were included. I used both push-pull pots, one for voice 2 and one for voice 3.


Cons:
- Hard to work with: The cables included are very flimsy, 16 awg wire I think? Not sure - but the wire feels cheap. At this price point I would like a bit sturdier wire.
- Included output jack feels alright. Same as the one on guitars out of the factory. Not a tight fit on the output jack like switchcraft jacks would be. Again, for the price, I would like a sturdier output jack.
- The pots are minipots which is more versatile - You can fit these in smaller cavities and have space for the battery. But it's easily possible to short pins on the pushpull pots because they are too close together and the pot is so tiny. The pots are short so you also have to buy long-shaft pots separately. Be careful when checking your measurements.
- I got the "brushed nickel" finish - but it literally just looks gloss black.
