Did you have any issues with getting a replacement? I'd prefer to get a replacement than a refund since these are the ones I want for this guitar, but definitely makes me unlikely to go for them in future cases

Nah, went with a refund from the store I bought them from (Music Zoo). I'm hard-headed; when I get a defective product, I go full refund and get something else.

In my case, I only had issues with a classic set, happened late last summer, had to exchange it twice (from Amazon) until success.

I need a passive-sized 8-string pickup.
Are any of the Fluence offerings high output? Like a Duncan Distortion or Dimarzio Super Distortion. Not looking for PAF-ish output.
Thanks!

all of them are high output except the tele pickups.
Yes, you're right,
all Fishman Humbuckers do not lack in output at all,
nevertheless they have this strange logic of low, medium and high output within their humbucker line when you look at the descriptions on their website, which probably is more linked to sound characteristics than to actual output rates.

Hmmm...that was not my experience with the JR set at all. I'd say it's as hot as the Moderns. Among the ones I have (all but DT, WA) the Tosins are the hottest by far.

I want to know why they won’t make a 7 string pickup in gold.
The original poster was asking about opencoil format specifically, a form factor neither the Tosins nor the moderns are available in.

He was asking about passive sized. Not the same as open coil
but doesn’t look like they are available passive sized

Yeah, I've asked them for a passive-sized Modern 8, and they said it's not going to happen.
I just ended up ordering a Dimarzio. Meh.

Only active I can think of that's the same size as passives are the kiesel polarity set. And they sound good in an 8 string.

Hwat you call me?
Anyone see the new Greg Koch fluence p90s?
I know someone here was told it’s not possible to mix a fluence humbucker and single coil, but man I’d love to mix a tosin bridge with a p90 neck if I could!

I saw a demo on them. They sound fantastic. Especially voice 2 which is the hot rodded version. Really gets the 2000's punk vibe going.

Am I crazy, Greg Koch's playing/style just ruins it for me. He can play for sure, but I don't want anything to do with what he plays, sorry. The closest I get to this style of playing is when I listen to Richie Kotzen, and he's a fierce shredder at heart. Can they have someone else, pleeeeease! How about someone w/ some real Jazz chops.
I don't know much about P90s so I don't know if this is good tone for that style of pickup, but it sounds great in the video to me

How do the moderns compare to the Tosin set?
