Adjusting the sensitivity of each
string
Adjust the pickup sensitivity for each string, according to the
way in which the GK-2B divided pickup is installed.
If you have more than one bass that you want to use with the
V-Bass, you must adjust the sensitivity of the divided pickup
for each bass. For each bass, turn off the power of the V-Bass,
connect the next bass, and perform the following procedure.
Settings for up to five basses can be made and stored.

4. Press [F6] to select string 6.
* Select strings as appropriate for the bass you are using.
5. Play string 6 of your bass.
* Play the string appropriate for your bass.
The level meter will be displayed. The indications
appear sequentially (starting from the left) according to
how strongly you play the string.

6. Turn the VALUE dial to adjust the sensitivity.
Adjust the sensitivity so it’s as high as you can get it
without causing the large level meter at the far right to
appear when you play most strongly in an actual
performance.
Then adjust the balance by ear.
* If the large level meter at the far right is displayed, an overload
has occurred. Reduce the sensitivity.
* Depending on the bass you use, the level meter may move all
the way to maximum even if the sensitivity is set as low as
possible. If this occurs, set the GK-2B divided pickup at a
greater distance away from the strings than specified.
7. Adjust the sensitivity of strings 5–1 in the same way.
8. Next, play strings 6–1 very softly.
If there is a string that sounds louder than the others,
lower the sensitivity for that string so that the volume is
consistent among all strings.
9. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play page.
* These settings must be made when you newly install a divided
pickup, or when you adjust the height of the divided pickup.
Once you have made these settings correctly, they are retained
even while the power is turned off. It is not necessary to re-
make these settings each time you perform.
* When you want to play the V-Bass using a bass that is
different than the previously used bass, select one of the
settings A–E that you made in step 2, to choose GK settings
appropriate for your bass. Press [EXIT] to return to the Play
page.
