When mounting the pickup on a left-handed bass, orient the pickup with the cable extending towards the neck. * * There are three types of pickup spacers, "A" (3 mm), "B" (1 mm) and "C" (0. 25 mm); combine these as necessary to achieve the proper pickup height. The pickup height should be set so that the clearance between the strings and the pickup is approximately 1. 5 mm (0. 6") when the top and bottom strings are pressed at the highest fret. Adjust the number of spacers while confirming the clearance with the included (1. 5 mm thickness) clearance gauge (p. If the top and bottom string heights differ greatly when the highest fret is fingered, compensate by adding the appropriate half-length or one-third length spacers until the clearance for both strings is the same. When using an arch-top bass, put the pickup cushions under the pickup spacers. fig. 1090e * Bridge * * Install the divided pickup close to the bridge. In any case, do not install the pickup more than 50 mm away from the bridge. maximum 50 mm fig. 1110e (Pickup Spacers) fig. 1100e When you have decided on the location in which to install the pickup, use pencil or tape to mark that location. Pickup Spacer 2. Tune each string to its normal tuning, and then be sure the neck curvature and string height are set properly. Any adjustments to the neck bow or string height should be done at this point. * Changes in the string height following installation of the divided pickup may cause the clearance between the strings and the pickup to change, which can result in poorer sensitivity. Pickup Cushion * * Adjust the pickup cushion thickness as required, for example by using two pickup cushions. The pickup spacers and the pickup cushions are attached to the bass with double­sided tape. When affixing the tape, however, the tape's thickness is reduced by 0. 1 mm (0. 004") when the backing of the tape is removed. The clearance gauge supplied with the GK-2 is 1. 5 mm thick; place the gauge between the strings and the divided pickup as shown in the figure below, then check and adjust the height. fig. 1190 (Clearance Gauge) Attaching the Pickup with Screws The steps for determining the position for attaching the pickup and for checking the height are exactly the same as when using the double-sided tape. 9). * If mounting the GK-2 with screws, ensure a minimum string clearance of 15. 5 mm (0. 6") from the body at the position where the pickup is positioned. Drill pilot holes slightly more than 2 mm in diameter if the bass body is made of a particularly hard material. 1. When you have determined the positioning, mark the position of the holes at each end of the pickup on the bass's body. Using a drill or similar means, open pilot holes where the attachment screws are to go in. * If the pilot holes are not made in the correct positions, then the pickup will not be attached in the correct position either. Place the springs between the pilot holes and the pickup as shown in the figure below, then secure the pickup with the screws. fig. 1150e Wood Screw 3 x 20 mm Spring Pilot Hole 12 Attaching the GK-2 to the Bass 5. Adjust the height of the pickup. * Adjust the mounting screws, loosening or tighten them as required so that the clearance between the strings and the pickup is approximately 1. 5 mm (0. 06") when the top and bottom strings are pressed at the highest fret. Check the height using the supplied clearance gauge (1. 5 mm thickness). * Afterwards, when connecting to GK devices, you will need to adjust the pickup sensitivity again. However, you may find that the sensitivity level on the GK device is too high. In such instances, you may be able to correct the problem by widening the clearance between the strings and the pickup, so try lowering the Pickup height slightly to see if this approach is effective.
