Attaching the GK-3B to the Bass

Restring and tune the bass.

Adjust the height of the pickup.

* Adjust the mounting screws, loosening or tighten

them as required so that the clearance between the

strings and the pickup is approximately 1.5 mm

(0.06”) when the top and bottom strings are pressed

at the highest fret. Check the height using the

supplied clearance gauge (1.5 mm thickness).

* Afterwards, when connecting to GK devices, you

will need to adjust the pickup sensitivity again.

However, you may find that the sensitivity level on

the GK device is too high. In such instances, you

may be able to correct the problem by widening the

clearance between the strings and the pickup, so try

lowering the Pickup height slightly to see if this

approach is effective.

* If the springs are too long, use a pair of wire clippers

to cut them to the correct size.

Attaching the Controller

There are two ways to attach the controller.

●

Attaching the Controller Unit with

Holder (p. 14)

This allows the controller to be mounted

easily, with no modification of the body

required.

●

Attaching the Controller Unit with

Double–Sided Tape and Screws (p. 18)

This allows the controller to be mounted at

any desired position on the bass, and

without the use of the holder, makes for a

thinner controller following installation.

However, it is somewhat difficult to carry

out.

■

Adjusting the Length of the Pickup Cable

Place the controller where it is actually to be attached to the bass to check the pickup cable

length. If the cable is too long, wind it up in the space behind the controller.
