1. Adjusting the divided pickup
In the case of basses, the distance between each string differs between instruments, so you will need to
adjust the divided pickup according to the distance between each string of your bass. Unless this
adjustment is made accurately, the GK-compatible device will not function at its full potential, or may
not operate correctly. Please make this adjustment with care.
1. Measure the distance between strings on
your bass.
To determine the distance between each string,
you can measure the distance between string 1
and string 4 (or depending on the number of
strings, 5 or 6) at the location in which to install
the pickup (p.13–14), and divide by one less
than the number of strings (i.e., in the case of a
four-string bass, divide by three).

Measure the distance
between these two strings.
Example:
a distance of 57 mm
57 divided by (4-1) = 19 mm
A gauge with pitches of 16, 17, 18, and 19 mm is
printed on the GK-2B package, and you can also
determine the spacing by placing this gauge
against your bass.
