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.
The manual covers safety precautions, panel descriptions, and detailed installation procedures. Users can attach the pickup using either double-sided tape or screws.
