Attaching the GK-2B to Your Bass
Attaching the pickup
with screws
The procedure for determining the location and
height of the divided pickup is exactly the same
as when using double-sided tape to fasten the
GK-2B. Please carefully read "Attaching the
pickup with double-sided tape" before you
continue.
* In order to install the pickup with screws, there
must at least 15.5 mm between the body and the
strings. If you are attaching the pickup to a bass
on which there is less than 15.5 mm of clearance
between the body and the strings, cut the springs
to an appropriate length.
1. Decide where you're going to install the
pickup. When you have decided on the
location, mark the body of your bass to
indicate the locations of the holes at each
end of the pickup.
2. Loosen and remove the strings.
3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
* If the pilot holes are not located accurately, the
pickup will not be positioned correctly. Be very
careful when drilling the pilot holes.
* A diameter of approximately 2 mm is appropriate
for the pilot holes.
* If the body of your bass is made of a hard
material, make the pilot holes slightly larger than
2 mm.

4. As shown below, insert the springs
between the pilot holes and pickup, and
fasten the screws.

5. Reinstall the strings, and tune your bass.
6. Adjust the height of the pickup.
* Tighten or loosen the screws so that there is
approximately 1.5 mm of clearance between the
string and pickup when the highest fret is
pressed. Use the included clearance gauge (1.5
mm thick) to adjust or check the height.
* After this procedure, the next step is to adjust the
pickup sensitivity on your GK-compatible device.
However, in some cases, you may find that the
level meter of the GK-compatible device is
already stuck at its maximum level. Should this
be the case, you may be able to solve the problem
by increasing the space between the strings and
pickup. Perform step (6) to slightly lower the
height of the pickup.
