3. Attaching the controller
There are two ways to install the controller:
Using double-sided tape or velcro
Using screws
Using double-sided tape or velcro to install the controller is the easier method, but the controller may
come off if your bass is jarred during performance or as the tape ages. We recommend that you
consider these methods as temporary, and in general use screws to attach the controller.
Attaching the controller
with double-sided tape
or velcro
If you do not want to make holes in the body of
your bass, use double-sided tape or velcro to
attach the controller.
However, with this method, the controller may
come off if your bass is jarred during
performance or as the tape ages.
Also, depending on how decals are affixed, the
condition of the finished surface (cracks,
peeling), or how your bass is finished, decals or
finish may also come off of your instrument
when the tape comes off.
Use the included velcro fastener if you will be
frequently removing and re-attaching the
controller.
1. Place the controller on the surface of your
bass, and decide where you're going to
install it. At this time, keep in mind the
following points.
* Is the controller where it will not interfere with
your playing?
* Is the controller in a position where it can be
operated easily?
* Will the controller interfere with the divided
pickup?
* Is strain being placed on the normal pickup input
jack, the divided pickup, or the GK connector
cable?
* Do the plugs inserted in the GK connector or
normal pickup input jack protrude beyond the
bass? If they protrude, strain may be placed on
the GK connector or normal pickup input jack
when the bass is set down, damaging them.

2. When you have decided where to install
the controller, wipe off any moisture, oil, or
dust from that location.
3. Affix double-sided tape or velcro to the
bottom of the controller.

4. Attach the controller to your bass.
* If you are attaching the controller to a bass with a
rounded body (e.g., an arched top), there may be
gaps between the controller and the bass, making
it difficult to attach the controller. In this case,
affix the included controller spacers to places on
the body where such gaps appear.
Use a knife or scissors to cut the body spacer to
an appropriate shape.
