    The Fishman Fluence Thread

    Been a while since I been here, but I just recently ordered the pair of fluence Tosin signature 8 pickups. Gonna be replacing the stock pickups in an Agile 8 string. I have never had active pickups cause most of the stuff I play is clean and my limited experience with EMGs had led me to believe...

    Which of these two are recommended?

    Sup, been a while since I sporadically came back here. So, bitchass guitarist from my old band fucking pawned the ole Agile 8 string I let him borrow, so I'm in the market for a new one. The one I had before was a nice Agile Intrepid Pro 828, natural wood color with custom Dimarzio pickups...

    Agile Interceptor 830 strings?

    Hey all, I have a 30" Agile interceptor 8 string that I want to get new strings for. I would prefer to get larger gauge strings for the low end because I play mostly jazz/clean sounding style, and I'd love to get a full/legit bass sound out of it. I always tune the last two strings to E A...

    Short 8 String Piece

    Thanks. Kayo Dot is one of my favorite bands, funny you mention that. I agree the tone isn't very good on the video, which is why i'm really striving to get a mic to record future videos. That being said, it is a keyboard amp and is designed to have a sterile tone. It's not for everyone but I...

    Javier Reyes (AAL) new Ibanez 8 string

    Nice guitar. I'd also like to hear more of his influence. To be honest I'm not a huge fan of Animals as Leaders, or at least maybe Tosin's stuff, but I thought Reyes' solo ideas were very interesting.

    Short 8 String Piece

    Thanks. I think the idea I had for writing this and other pieces was incorporating some ideas from classical composing, especially impressionist (like movements, certain forms, references, etc.) with more modal/jazzy tones I like. Anyways, I've already started writing more so I probably upload...

    Short 8 String Piece

    Thank ye kindly. The audio quality kind of sucks cause I still need to get a legit mic... and learn how to record audio/video at the same time.

    Short 8 String Piece

    Hey all, I recently wrote a piece for guitar while I was away on tour. I originally planned this to be a one-off thing with vocals over it but I'm considering writing more pieces like this as part of a set. I had an old channel some of you might have seen, but I decided to change cause I...

    Agile 830 Suggestions Needed

    Thanks everyone. The Warr guitars look cool but honestly... I'm not a fan of chapman stick-esque guitars. A bit of a controversial opinion here but I think once the flash and showmanship of the touch guitars has set in, it just sounds like a piano with bad hammers or something. Those string...

    Agile 830 Suggestions Needed

    Thanks. I was thinking of talking to them, I heard a few bareknuckle but all I hear was some people on youtube doing chugga chugga so I got kind of turned off. But a hand designed pickup would be ideal, I just think it would be super expensive. Ideally, I think I would like the low 4 strings to...

    Agile 830 Suggestions Needed

    Hey all, been a while since I came here but it helped me before. I play an Agile Interceptor 830 and I've loved it but there's a couple issues I have with it. Before I say them, I should say I play a bit unconventionally; I play fingerstyle all the time, clean most of the time and became...

    New Agile Interceptor 830. Video included.

    Thanks. I've already decided on getting a Yamaha CP-300, as I want a digital piano with two wheels for midi input capability and flexibility. I'll probably use a real piano on the studio recordings, but the yamaha will be nice for live performances.

    New Agile Interceptor 830. Video included.

    Thanks you guys. Yes, 6 string sets work fine. They told me that this was a normal 7 string pack from D'addario (which is basically a 6 string pack with an extra) with an extra string thrown in for the bass. Yes, the 30" scale effects pretty much everything. It is pretty much a mini-bass...

    New Agile Interceptor 830. Video included.

    Thanks again all. When I think of tunings, I usually try to think of a certain chord I like, then I think of all the notes in the chord, and which strings have to be tuned/detuned the least distance to get those notes. About the harp harmonics, I really enjoy the sound of them. I remember...

    New Agile Interceptor 830. Video included.

    Hmm I don't think so, I've never had a problem with it. I typically use fairly heavy gauge strings, like 12 or 13 gauge on the high E, and I never really had any stability problems. However, I don't really bend that much, and in the pieces I used that tuning on, I think the most I ever had to...

    New Agile Interceptor 830. Video included.

    Thanks a lot. I'm using a Carvin Legacy right now. Just guitar straight into the amp. The tuning is an A major 6 chord. I came up with the tuning on my 7 string. Starting from the low 8, it goes E A E A C# F# C# E. I started using different tunings because I realized that hands became too...

    New Agile Interceptor 830. Video included.

    Thanks. I could try. I'm terrible with a whammy bar though, I never use one. Usually a trem is impractical for me because I change tunings all the time. I'll see if I can work something up though.

    New Agile Interceptor 830. Video included.

    Hey, just got a new 8 string guitar recently. Agile 8 string interceptor 830, 30" scale neck. Mahogany body. I keep the low strings tuned to E and A. The current strings are real light gauge, but I'll probably get light gauge bass strings for the low E and A when I replace them. This way...
