Roland GK-3B Divided Pickup Owner's Manual
The Roland GK-3B is a special divided pickup designed to be installed on an ordinary bass, allowing it to play sounds from GK-compatible devices such as the Roland GR-20 or V-BASS. The unit features six individual pickup coils with adjustable spacings ranging from 16 mm to 19 mm, making it compatible with a wide variety of bass models, including six-string basses. It includes special holders and spacers to facilitate easy attachment to different bass models.
