User manual ROLAND GK-2B MANUAL 2

[. . . ] Owner's Manual Thank you for purchasing the Roland GK-2B divided pickup. Before using this unit, carefully read the sections entitled: USING THE UNIT SAFELY (Page 2­3) IMPORTANT NOTES (Page 4) These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner's manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference. [. . . ] It can be removed cleanly by rolling it with your finger as shown below. fig. 17 Cable Fook * At this point, we recommend that you temporarily connect your GK-compatible device, and check the level of each string. If there are significant differences between the levels of the strings, make fine adjustments to the position and height of the pickup so that the levels are as consistent as possible. If the pickup height was not appropriate, use the following procedure to correct it. (1) Carefully examine the current state. If the pickup is too low, decide how many spacers you need to add. If it is too high, decide how many spacers you need to remove. (3) Pry off only the divided pickup from the bass. * If you bend or twist the divided pickup, the internal circuitry could get damaged. Insert a thin object such as a table knife below the pickup, starting at the lowest string, and gently, little by little, pry it off. (5) Adjust the height. When adding a spacer, remove the double-sided tape that remains on the upper surface of the spacer already affixed to your bass, and attach the additional spacer on top of it. When removing a spacer, you should also remove any double-sided tape that remains on the top surface after peeling off the unneeded spacer. (6) On the bottom surface of the pickup, attach two new strips of the included double-sided tape B. (7) Attach the pickup on top of the spacer(s) you affixed to your bass. (8) Reinstall the strings, tune your bass, and check the pickup 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 steps (1) through (8) to slightly lower the height of the pickup. 15 Attaching the GK-2B to Your Bass s Attaching the pickup with screws The procedure for determining the location and height of the divided pickup is exactly the same as when using double-sided tape to fasten the GK-2B. 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. Decide where you're going to install the pickup.
