The GK-3B is a special divided pickup,
which, when installed on an ordinary bass,
allows you to use the bass to play the sounds
of GK-compatible bass devices (Roland GR-
20 or V-BASS etc.).
• With the pickup section featuring six
individual pickup coils, this unit is
compatible even with six-string basses.
• Spacings between the pickup coils are
adjustable in a range from 16 mm (0.68”)
to 19 mm (0.75”), allowing mounting on a
wide variety of different basses.
• Included with the GK-3B are special
holders, spacers, and other accessories,
which allow you to easily attach the unit
to any of a wide variety of bass models.
• You can use the controller switches to
control the various functions of
connected GK devices.
