Resumen del manual
Please carefully read “Attaching the pickup with double-sided tape” before you continue. * In order to install the pickup with screws, there must at least 15.5 mm between the body and the strings. If you are attaching the pickup to a bass on which there is less than 15.5 mm of clearance between the body and the strings, cut the springs to an appropriate length. 1. Decide where you’re going to install the pickup. When you have decided on the location, mark the body of your bass to indicate the locations of the holes at each end of the pickup. 2. Loosen and remove the strings. 3. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. * If the pilot holes are not located accurately, the pickup will not be positioned correctly. Be very careful when drilling the pilot holes. * A diameter of approximately 2 mm is appropriate for the pilot holes. * If the body of your bass is made of a hard material, make the pilot holes slightly larger than 2 mm. 4. As shown below, insert the springs between the pilot holes and pickup, and fasten the screws. 5. Reinstall the strings, and tune your bass. 6. Adjust the height of the pickup. * Tighten or loosen the screws so that there is approximately 1.5 mm of clearance between the string and pickup when the highest fret is pressed. Use the included clearance gauge (1.5 mm thick) to adjust or check the height. * After this procedure, the next step is to adjust the pickup sensitivity on your GK-compatible device. However, in some cases, you may find that the level meter of the GK-compatible device is already stuck at its maximum level. Should this be the case, you may be able to solve the problem by increasing the space between the strings and pickup. Perform step (6) to slightly lower the height of the pickup. Attaching the GK-2B to Your Bass 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. GK- 2B MADE IN JAPAN 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.
