Unboxing RZK & Will Adler Fishman Pickups!

[@CorrosiveMatter]

I wish they would come up with a solderless set like EMG, I know 3 people that refuse to try Fishman because they don't want to mess with solder.

"Smells like Sushi" - Steel Panther Man, that blue EC is just beautiful!

I've been sent some too. Codbucker for the neck and Haddockbucker for the bridge.

Nice! The passive voicing on the Adler set is great.

[@moribnd]

What is you opinion of the Will Adler (bridge) voicings compared to the Modern's voice 1 and 2? Does the Will Adler have more bass/resonance in its "voice 1" equivalent (I'm thinking here of palm muted chug resonance, which the Modern voice 1 lacks)?

[@solarfallmori]

Cool man! I was waiting for some new reviews of the Kruspe ones 🔥 Can you record some aggressive riffs too drop tuned? and trying a bit some pm and low end if possible please. Btw, what do you think of the new modern open core?

[@PikaStu666]

Interested to see your installation of the Fishmans. Many years ago I installed EMGs in a couple of Gibson LPs and it was a pain in the arse!

[@SonicDriveStudio]

It should be an easy switch

[@lozovoymax1941]

yep. you can just replace pickups and don't touch anything else. Well, depends on what schema you use and what schema you want to achieve. 1 push-pull -> 2 push-pull. that might require some re-soldering. but for standard active-passive, just replace pickups. that's it. Adler set really good. Very nice sound. One of best fishman pickups. It differs from classic and modern a lot(bridge). I use only passive voice on Adler set. Active voicing on Adler feels like "nice to have but not necessary". Although on modern and classic I prefer active voice.

[@SonicDriveStudio]

The current pickups (classic open core) have 2 push pulls going on, so 3 voices. The RZKs also have three so that should be an easy swap. The Adlers have only 2 voices on the bridge pickup afaik

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

Rich Z pickups are awesome. They are a lot like devs which are sick.

[@syonys6222]

I'm so curious about the open core blades Want to see a metal review on them

[@pooferson5991]

Will you be doing a video showing the replacement process?

[@moribnd]

I tried the Open Core Classic and it is garbage if one is playing any number of extreme metal genres. The Modern's (bridge) voice 1 lacks bass, voice 2 lacks the nice mids of voice 1. Question: how does the Will Adler perform as the possible go-to rhythm guitar sound for the heaviest of metal at moderate tempos and with plenty of palm mutes? Does the RZK have more bass and resonance than the Modern voice 1?

My newest guitar has Fishmans, and while I know the tone doesn’t change, I’m never going back because they’re so quiet when not playing ! Way less feedback and 0 buzz is a win from me
