- Attaching the GK-3B to the Bass
5.
Remove the backing from the tapes for
the pickup cushion, the pickup
spacers, and the pickup, and carefully
attach the pickup to the bass.
After affixing these items, press them so that the
items adhere firmly.
Wipe off any dust that may be on the location to
which you're affixing the double-sided tape. If the
location is dusty or dirty, the double-sided tape may
not adhere sufficiently.
Restring and tune the bass, then
carefully check the height of the
divided pickup once more.
Measure with the clearance gauge to
confirm that the clearances between the
pickup and the strings are approximately
1.5 mm (0.06”) when you press the top
and bottom strings at the highest fret,
then finish up by making sure that the
strings do not touch the pickup when you
play the bass.
Then attach the cord hook near the
bridge, and fasten the pickup cable in the
hook so that it does not lift up or touch
the strings. |
Cord Hook
Take the steps below if the height of
the divided pickup is not right.
1) Carefully examine the pickup in its
current state, and add a suitable
number of spacers if the pickup is
too low, or remove one or more
spacers if the pickup is too high.
2) Remove the strings from the bass.
3) Remove the divided pickup from the
bass. |
Use care in handling the divided pickup; bending or
twisting it may cause breaking in the coil elements.
Carefully insert something thin and flat (like a table
knife) under the Pickup from the bottom string side,
then gently pry the pickup upwards.
4) After removing the pickup, carefully
remove the double-sided tape from
the bottom of the pickup.
5) Adjust the height of the Pickup.
If you wish to add a spacer, first
completely remove the used double-
sided tape from the top surface of
the existing spacers, then add the
new spacer. .
If you need to remove any spacers,
remove the necessary number of
spacers and completely remove the
remaining double-sided tape from
the top surface. |
6) Attach a piece of the new double-sided
tape B to the bottom of the pickup.
7) Attach the pickup to the top of the
spacer that is applied to the bass side.
8) Restring and tune the bass, then
check the height of the Divided
Pickup again.
