It's possibly just personal preference but I can't seem to get much joy from a set of Fluence Modern pickups installed as OEM on a Schecter.
Whilst I could swap them out for my usual PU preferences ( EVH Wolfgang's or DiMarzio D'activators) it's a fair bit of work and I just wonder whether I am somehow not optimised into my AF III? To me they just sound clinical and uninteresting, not like an EMG (not a big fan of those either) and more like a passive that lacks character.
Am I the only one that thinks that way or is there something I could do to tease some life out of this before the soldering iron is involved....
And if it's just a personal preference thing then that's fine as they clearly work wonders for some folk.
