Hello lads, I know some of you are freaks and may have done this or at least know someone or something.

I'm from Argentina and I'm seeing a very good offer for a set of Fishman Fluence, Modern 7 but the guy have it without any wires, potentiometers, etc. and as I saw, active cables are different between EMG and FF, EMG are solderless but FF are solder, so my question is:

Is it possible to cut the cables so then I can solder them to the pots? Would you do it or know some website so l can check it?

(Just so you see prices, this used set is 300$, new is 650$ and the EMG are ~500$, and shipping is not an option cos we have 55% extra on taxes here in Argentina + no return). Cheers guys hope you can help me!

Hello lads, I want to swap my pickups to an active ones, preferably some fishmans cos mine are some cheap Chinese ones.

I just measured the back cavity for pickup wires and a battery fits perfectly, anyone else tried that?

I see the FF uses 2 potentiometers because of the voicing, I know I’m not going to use that, can I just use 1 and leave out the other one?

Hello, I bought a month ago a Harley Benton 7 string baritone 27”, currently at drop G with 10-74 leaving the 64 string.

I see my guitar with a high action when I bought it, so I send it to my luthier (which I don’t know if he knows how to handle extended range guitars and high string gauges) and returned to me with arround 3 picks of 1mm of action and high 0 string buzzz, which I’m use to low action with a little of fret buzz but not that string high.

I was planning to buy a D activator 7 because this bridge pickup sucks and I think now my plans have to change.

My question is, do you know if I send it to a high experience luthier, is he going to solve this problem or no? Is the guitar itself?
