I think the page for Mick's signature pickups accidentally went live, I got here from the website.
Bro time traveled 💀
How did you comment before the video came out, are you a time traveler?
@@TL-_-Edits Their artist page for Mick went live on their website about a week ago. These videos were unlisted, but on the page. You can right click any embedded youtube video to grab the link.
Bro went Trunks mode just to comment this review video. 😮
but.. how???
Mick looks great and the pickup sounds surgically brutal, congrats!
Mick's lost a lot of weight. Looks great.
Weight went into his chugs 😂😂
Yeah, he cut out alcohol for a little over a month, then eased back into it with light beer and better eating.
yea, now with and without the masks, he looks more sinister
Mick and Phill collins chilling together that’s great
Ozempic , guaranteed
Best tone mick had was with the white Ibanez and the Rivera 7 Amp back in the " All hope is gone" days.🤘search for the video of him doing tracks with this rig! Tone is beast!
most definitely
wasnt he secretly using a Mesa MkV or similar then, i remember jim saying something about it
Seymour Duncan Blackouts is still king
@@archangelsean he used a petrucci Mesa live a few times but tracked in the studio with his Rivera 7.
Finally someone agrees with me.
Spectre Sound Studio is going to have an aneurysm watching this 🤯😆🤘🏻
No one cares about Spectre.
BEEN WAITING. STOKED
Can’t wait to try these. VERY exited🤘🤘🤘
I love mick I’m a guitar player and just love seeing a up to date interview with him!!
i really can't wait to try these things out!
just to throw my two cents in, speaking about variance with sound in guitars.
besides the fact that they just sound amazing and unique, for me personally, the beauty of Fishman's pickups is that they are all consistent. the greatness of the consistency, is that, with my 15 different(some extremely different, some a lot the same spec-wise) guitars with Fishman Fluence pickups, the variables in sound all come from the variances in the woods and hardware, which is really important. if you know the sound of your pickup, it allows you to predict what sort of guitar and it's combination of woods and hardware are gonna sound right, or to what you want the guitar to present in its voice. it also helps insanely with what sort of tone you're chasing with your amplifier and speakers.
Fishman are truly changing the world for pickup technology in the best way possible, in my opinion.
What an interesting process, sounds very surgical. I´m looking forward to try them out 🔥🔥
Gonna wait until an ESP signature comes out with these in it.
Nice! Great video!
Holy shit, Mick looks great. Good shit and sick ass pickups
I love hearing Mick shoutout the main man Ken Susi! Been a huge Unearth fan for a long time! 🤘🤘
Mick looks great! good on him
These came with the exact right time for me
I remember those Seymour Duncan Backkouts, they were high gain af even with the jumper pulled of, these Fishman sound pretty crisp ❤
I still put Blackouts in some of my guitars. Those things are sooooo versatile.
I hope Mick knows he's an absolute warrior.
Love him ❤️
Much love from Scotland ❤️
Congrats Mick 🤘🏼
Playing fishmans myself. They are some of the most dynamic pickups I have ever heard, Mick is absolutely right, insane clarity in every range
First off, Mick looks amazing and these pickups should be awesome! Second, who else wants to hit the like but doesn't want to change the 777, 😆? Can't wait for the Mick Thompson signature ESP guitar too! 🤘🤘🤘
so sick want to buy one!!!
Yes!
I want them now.
That ESP Mick plays in this is so sic!
i have the white mick Thompson soloist with his signature Seymour Duncans and i swaped them for emg 81/85. i have the EMTY set in my explorer with 12.s
Good choice. EMG 81's sound incredible. Better than any Fishman's, IMO.
Em português: Mano, o que demorou para eu reconher o Mick foi tempo.
O cara tá magrelo.
god mick looks amazing
Sounds like he’s found the correct set up with fishman I still want a set of his blackouts from Seymour Duncan
Fuck Mick looks good. Been putting some serious graft in by the looks of it 💪
I have a Les Paul custom with Fishman Fluences and I rarely play it. The bridge p/u is SUPER crispy even when heavily eq'd. I swapped it for the neck p/u which is better and is an alnico. I personally prefer traditional pups.
Have you tried Fishman Fluence Classics?
THE BEST PICK UP FOREVER
will there be a fishman fluence mobile app to change voicings on the go in the future?
I think it would be sick if Mick changes from the hard tail Floyd to the evertune bridge on his signature esp!
Seems like a good fit perfect for drop tuning then he could do a string thru body... MORE SUSTAIN!!
I think he'll remain with traditional bridges for the time being. I don't even know if he owns a single guitar with an evertune in it as there are basically no photos of him with one.
Something kinda funny, I work for sweetwater in their distribution center, and I shipped a pair of these out like a day before they really posted anything about it.
Mick has a sick sound one of the top best guitarist around
Did the low end of the "Modern" sound gain weight with Mick's model?
I would love to see Glenn Fricker react this
Me to😂
Glenn is full of crap when it comes to pickups. Go watch Andertons Tv and see Rob Chapman blindfolded tell you what pick up is in the guitar he is playing. Go watch Kristian Kohler directly compare the differences in tone between an EMG and Passive pickup.
@@shredenvain7 did you not pay attention to what Glenn has been arguing about for ages? he's talking about in a recording. HE IS A SOUND ENGINEER. live and feel dont matter if you're trying to record. speakers, and mics are important. silly
@@djguzzy10 I know what Glenn is talking about. He is obsessed with speakers and he is right about how important they are to sound. That said Glenn is wrong completely about pickups. He gain matches their input before they go to the amp when he does his recording to make them sound similar so he can scream and call people stupid. Go right now and watch Kohle's video about his hapas guitar and listen to the very obvious difference in sound between 2 pickups and even the difference caused by raising and lowering the same pickup
While the manchildren argue about whether the tone is in the scrotum or the anus, real men knows it's in the Eight-band EQ.
I’m gonna save money this year!
*These finally drop*
Never mind
It's in the speakers
Mick is actually a good narrator/host... if he could change his career
Damn fishman marketing team really is doing the most
what do these pickups do that others dont
Will we have a 7-string version of these pickups?
Slipknot don’t use 7 strings bc there’s already so much going on in slipknot so I don’t see a reason for mick to want to Create something he has no use for…..is it a good idea sure but practical no not really nor necessary bc again it’s slipknot there’s already a lot going on and creating a 7-string version of his pickup would require a lot more time and effort that would be pretty useless bc mick doesn’t use those……he plays and uses stuff that add to the band so what’s the point in developing a 7-string version if it’s never gunna be used in slipknot????? Make sense you have a great idea and thought but it’s just not possible…….only reason I can see it becoming a thing is if enough people love the pickups to then say hey we love this sound can you give us a 7-string version but even that’s a long shot
@patrickstephens956 Mick doesnt use 7 strings but he had a Seymour Duncan signature pickup for many many years and he had them in both 6 and 7 string configurations. The OP's question makes complete sense and it would be wise on Fishman's part to make a 7 string version cause they will sell very well just like Mick's 7 string Seymour Duncans.
@@jessiepalermo7234 Cheers.
@@patrickstephens956there will be 7 a string. Your comment makes no sense. Steph Carpenter doesn’t use 6 strings live anymore but he still has a 6 string model for his fishman.
Mick's voice changes (goes deeper) when he wears sunglasses.
Slim dude. Thicc sound.
At first I was like "hey, who's that buddy on the left?"... and only then I realized.
Meus Deus, ele sabe falar
I want the whole guitar with the pickups that thing is nasty
He looks so different.
The problem most people don't seem to grasp and why I think "Signature" pickups are kind of a bad idea is that people think they will get them THE TONE... Sure... if you also run through his setup as well. Unlike normal actives, Fishman's can EQ precisely.... Don't go buying them expecting them to sound perfect through your rig/settings
It shows you don't play guitar very much.
I can tell the difference between the sound of each pickups. Rig/settings make a difference. But pickups make more of a difference. Especially if a guitar just comes in stock pickups. I can tell one of my guitar stock pick ups sound low and my expensive guitar with signature pickups sound more louder and better :)
Pickups do not make more of a difference. The speaker and cab is the single largest eq change as a speaker is a mechanical frequency filter. The amp has much more powerful ability to change eq as well. The pickup sets the input level, impedance, and the input eq, but this is very minimal. Its mostly noticed by the player through the feel of them.
@@evilplasticfork2330 ur telling me you could tell the difference between an EMG 81 and a Blackout w/ high gain and compression and EQ? doubt. what about with different mic placements?
@@clarkkotte3069 Oh I agree, just signature Fishman's that are made for the artist push their rig where they want it. For mick it woulf be These pickups into his Omega Amp with his prefered settings into his cab with his DV77 speakers.
@@evilplasticfork2330 I have a guitar with EMG81/85, Another with Fishman Moderns, Another with Lace Max Cavalera's "Downstroyers", Another with Ibanez Quantums, a 7 string with Mick's EMTY 7 set, and a guitar with a pickup from Guitar Fetish. Yes, they all have their characteristics and the EMG81/85 the most drastic. In the end though when Mixed in High Gain it matters very little as you're putting in post EQ to make the tone and sound fit within the mix. Signature Sets though help these artists in their rig and setup. SO WITH THAT, TELL ME I DON'T F'ING KNOW. I never said they don't sound different, just stated that You can probably save your money by not buying artist sets and JUST USE AN EQ
Homie looks like my welding teacher
somebody on Ozempic
If Mick really is giving the interview, then you could be sure it is the Real Deal!
Yep, because people advertising their own products would never stretch the truth to sell more products.
I’d like fishman to do a better job of explaining how one pup is different than another - give some EQ charts - the descriptions are full of buzzwords which makes it hard to know how the Moderns differ from the Alders to the Killswitch etc etc
Smear-y, oomph-y, woof-y..... a strange language us guitarists speak, but know exactly what he means!
Dude playing blackout pickups for years is talking about tonewood, thats next level xD
Tonewoods are a myth anyway. xD
@@tertozer3543 youve never plugged two different guitars with the same pickups into the same amp before? they sound different. all guitars sound diffrent even with the same pickups so how can you call that a myth??? lol. there are literally hundreds of videos demonstrating this if you cant try it for yourself. trems affect tone as well as wood and shape. my king v sounds different then my dinky. both have floyds and made of the same woods made by the same company made in the same factory. you dont need anyone to tell you anything tho because you can just do it yourself if you have the equipment.
@@Zombie_13x33 they do not sound different and for sure do not sound different with distortion levels of slipknot
@@Zombie_13x33 Wood have very little effect on tone/ "there are literally hundred of videos" disproving this myth. Go work on your bar chords champ
I think he pointed out here that the issue was in fact the pickups
It's incredible how in commercials they can talk for minutes and don't say anything in the same time)) Sound is in the hands firstly, you can give Mick any pickup and he will sound like Mick.
Yup, jest another marketing bs 🙄
That “tone is in your hands” thing is the biggest bs ever.
@@llnn5112 I thought so myself, but then I understood what it means)
Imagine if Dime was still around. I bet he’d be ripping Fishmans.
100%
mick looks like jim root now
So his voice at that event was really different because it was at a loud enviroment. His voice is intact hahahaha It's just weight. I hope he's fine (which it seems he is).
Mick knows what he wants out of a pickup,he lost alot of weight too
Mick is either sick or super healthy lost so much weight
Why is mick B real now?
bareknuckle pickups looking at this knowing they would make a killer pickup he would like
The guy clearly says you don't coils anymore. Bare knuckle make traditional built pickups, he is not interested in that anymore.
I own both various sets of fishmans and bare knuckles both are awesome. I got to say though , as much as ive been a passive snob all my life and shitted on actives.. The fishmans really ruined other pickups for me ( even the bare knuckles). At first they're alarming to play ...because they're even MORE dynamic than passives which is wild its almost a culture shock. Some people dont like that " culture shock " I mentioned. But the more i played them and A,B the sounds, They grew on me extremely. They just have more of everything to put it simple. When i switch back to passives which ive played for 20 years .. I always find them lacking now especially in dynamics, the fishmans have made every other pickup feel bland, lifeless and stiff now. Ill only be buying fish mans going forward. Again its personal preference. Every guitar i own with fishmans are the most addictive ones to play.
Masters live in the middle.... Mick has found his middle....
Dang. I wish they weren’t plain looking. They look like standard moderns. No signature touch. At least make the stripe red or something.
Very much this. There's a well known pickup manufacturer that allows you to design the look of the pickup right in their website. They even have an option to do custom etching. Fishman seem to have the electronics down, now they need to step up in other departments
@@Mike.daFonz Yep, especially for the price. It would be a really cool feature to have more custom options.
I hate that we live in a world where people care what pickups look like. Sound buddy, worry about tone, the looks are for IG clout
@@Ottophil Would you play a penis shaped guitar?
I want the complete package. Sound and looks.
It won't last until he moves on the best next thing..
LOL. Stay hating.
Fishman has been taking over the pickup game for a reason. If you cant see it or understand it, no one can explain it to you and im sorry.
@vikso89 Exactly! This company has been killing it and getting all these people to jump on, and people are still saying this nonsense. This is the best next thing! Fishman Fluence has changed mine, and many others guitar playing life.
@@KolaTheBearit’s not about fisherman, mick just changes gear often
@mccarty He changes guitar companies a lot, but he seems to stick with pickups. He was using duncan since I was in middle school, and I am almost 30 now.
Don't watch this video Glenn Fricker!! Lmao
Exactly what I was thinking😂😂😂
Have you seen Jim Lil video? Is more focused on non metal stuff and his results indeed show pickups have little (or not distinguishable) difference to tone
@@ClaimedEaglehave you ever played two of the same guitar with different pickups? Sure it might get lost in the mix, but in the room it can be a large difference.
@@mulleygraves lol nope. no one can tell the difference between emg 81 and blackouts. especailly with high gain and compression pedals
@@andy_182 I didn't say 81 and blackout, but they do sound different. Why would anyone use a compression pedal with high gain?
What a piece of a guitar nerd am I seeing? 😅 Didn't knew Mick is so focused on the tech side. Now it seems clear why he used to switch brands so often.
He taught guitar too. It’s his job for 30 yrs
😂 suprise mick doesnt swear lol
These guys and their sunglasses
Mick's kinda looking like the fhritp guy
larry fishman looks like Turkish daddy.
Anyone else get Anakin Skywalker, and Palpatine vibes from this video....obvious Sith masters talking here.
get glenn fricker in this discussion
Mick retired from being scary.
*yawn* you ever notice every active pickup gets the same descriptive words thrown around? Yeah, just wanted to point that out. Hey, so... frequency response graphs are a thing that could prove its worth the money. Just saying.
Накрошил он тут хлеба, конечно
Would you like me to be the cat?
Jesus mick had gotten skinny
His EMG tone was far better.
This dude changes brands like I change underwear and every time its the same talk. "This is the best shit I ever got." Until someone else pays him better then its all over again.
every few years its "ive finally found the sound ive been searching for...."
So you’ve changed underwear only… what.. 7 times?
congrats! you understand marketing
What I've been saying for a while, fucked up thing is he calls these companies "Family" He did Seymour Duncan bad.
That purist mindset of yours is going to ruin you. Life is all about evolution and financial stability.
Tone sounds horrible to me.
Sterile and nasal is definitely not the most desirable tone
Record some shit so that we know what is a good tone to you 😂😂
Unless it's in a mix, you can't judge it.
Sounds like single coils on steroids
Kinda the direction metal is stepping towards it seems like
its just a pickup bro
Mick Thomson is a big dude and I feel like he lost way too much weight and muscle mass hopefully he’s healthy and doing fine, looks like he needs to eat some meat and put some mass back on.
Meh, No shade towards Fishman... but his 'tone' is some mid scoopy, fizzy, buzzy jank nonsense. Tone and articulation do not matter when you are going through a fizzed out omega amp into some vintage 30s.
Went to fluence and secretly mocking his previous signature. What a douche
Meh, wish they captured Mick Gordon's sound instead.
Mick Gordon's sound is at most like 1% anything to do with guitar pickups
Lame. They sound just like everything else.
Actually play one, and you'll see they offer far more than any pickup on the market. I'm sure you will like them!
He don’t look right without the weight
Naw, EMG's are better. Lol
So sad... Mick lost his incredible guitar skill like Tankian lost his voice... Bye legends
Mick's voice is drop G 😃
I’m in no way judging Mick in a negative way.
The reality is is that these companies go out of their way to recruit popular guitar players.
Somehow Mick has jumped from bc rich, Ibanez, Jackson, and nor to ESP (which is my personal favorite).
He just so happened to start not being satisfied with Seymour Duncan Blackouts.
It’s almost entirely an economic incentive structure that causes all these changes.
As much as I have countless criticisms of Metallica, I appreciate their loyalty to ESP and EMG.
Sure, Kirk is working with Gibson but when you’re a member of the biggest band in the world you’ve got a certain amount of flexibility.
I love Mick, honestly but hearing him slobber over Fishman’s is sorta my point.
Are we to believe all of his other endorsements were born out of ignorance? I suppose im not a part of the herd that believes a successful guitarist’s opinion in current year.
Damn, Mick may be a Glarry guitar player in a few years if they pay him enough.
To be fair, I can also imagine him growing tired of using the same thing live for years and wanting something different after a while. It might be that the gear he's using fits the best with his tastes at that particular time.
Not all of his partnerships are derived out of economic decisions. I know he ended his relationship with B.C. Rich due to actual production problems in the early 2000's that even made their way to artist custom models like Mick's later guitars. Even his Jackson models had problems with intonation because the custom hardtail was not designed with enough clearance for the saddles when tuned to Drop A. But you make a great point. Fishman and ESP have nailed it when it comes to their artist relations and marketing so I can't say I'm surprised they scooped him up as soon as they were able. What did surprise me was how fast Mick made the switch, especially considering how much he raved about his Jackson guitars. He was only with them for about 7 years.
$ELLOUT GOOF!!!!!
That would be clown
