2 O O CATALO9 A little family secret

Since it’s beginning, in the early 1980’s, Fishman has helped acoustic musicians achieve the truest sound possible whenever they plug in. In that time we have been awarded more than 30 patents. And won more awards for quality, design, performance and innovation than all of our competitors combined.

Sure, our ongoing commitment and wide range of innovative products has helped our passionate little company grow to become the industry standard for acoustic amplification. And Fishman equipment is now used around the world. But that won’t change what got us here: always putting the needs of the acoustic musician first.

But here’s the secret: Every artist who chooses Fishman does so without incentives other than a desire for the best possible sound.

So, the loyalty from our extended family of players, technicians, repair professionals and instrument manufacturers is really a result of our loyalty toward them, as evidenced by our innovative, reliable products, over-the-top customer support, and unwavering goal of amplified acoustic excellence.

Soundhole Pickups. Which one is right for you?

A great pickup is fundamental to an amplified acoustic’s signal chain. Less sophisticated pickups may attempt to enrich the sound of your guitar with overly warm tones, but Fishman pickups are the result of years of research “I’ve used Fishman products for more than to preserve the natural timbre of your guitar, revealing its own rich voice. twenty years. In my business quality, reliability Starting with its very first product, Fishman’s acclaimed pickups have and consistency is what I count on. surprised musicians and critics alike with their accuracy and clarity. -Doug Breidenbach, Guitar Tech for Jimmy Buffett, and Crosby, Stills & Nash Many musicians choose soundhole pickups for ease of use. For instance our value-priced Neo-D needs no battery and is able to be installed easily and quickly with no alteration to your guitar. The Matrix Infinity, our flagship undersaddle pickup system, offers transparent sound quality and features like tone control and switchable voicing to accommodate different performance situations.

25 Designed for the singer/songwriter, SoloAmp provides exceptional sound quality and coverage in a wide variety of venues.

220 Watts of clean, lightweight power drives a line array of six custom high-excursion speakers and a soft dome tweeter. This unique combination delivers incredibly full sound, ultra-wide dispersion, and deeper sonic penetration than the common speaker cabinet. Better yet, the enhanced bass response of the custom-designed speakers means there’s no need for a subwoofer! It’s a P.A., and an Amp. With SoloAmp, the performer and audience hear exactly the same sound, meaning there’s no need for separate wedge monitors or a combo amp backline. And because SoloAmp is voiced for the singer/songwriter, acoustic instruments and vocals are projected with superb depth and clarity. The Ultimate in Portability SoloAmp weighs only 25lbs*, ships complete with a padded bag equipped with wheels, and includes a rugged speaker stand. Set up takes less than a minute, with only one trip to the car! And full-digital universal power means SoloAmp is ready to travel anywhere in the world.

29 Bluegrass performance. Straight from the heart.

What does Bluegrass sound like? With the advent of Jamgrass, Neo-traditional, and Newgrass, one thing’s for sure… ol’ Bill Monroe would sure be surprised to hear what is being called Bluegrass these days. As much as we love traditional music, the new musical influences and progressive styles have made the bluegrass genre more exciting than ever. Mainstream country artists have embraced the style, recorded bluegrass albums and hit the major festivals to reach a broader audience. And today’s bluegrass stars have crossed over as well, contributing to a growing appreciation of this traditional music throughout the world. Take Rickie Simpkins here for instance. His virtuosity with the fiddle and mandolin has helped him make quite a name for himself with the classic bluegrass of his native Virginia. But his creative flexibility has him playing with jazz-influenced Tony Rice and the Unit, the gospel-tinged Isaacs, and even accompanying the legendary Emmylou Harris. No matter how you like your bluegrass, one thing will always be authentic – the unmistakable sound when a fiddle gets together with some flat-picking guitars, mandolins, resonators, banjos and an upright bass. Acoustic heaven. So we’re particularly proud that we’ve been able to develop a new generation of pickups that preserves your instrument’s natural voice – like our new Nashville Series Resophonic pickup. Embraced by professionals who want the purest amplification for this unique and throaty instrument, it’s quickly become even more popular than we could have imagined.
