Its low-profile divided pickup senses individual string vibration, while the separate controller provides GK volume, sound-selection, and remote-control switches directly from the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bassists expanding beyond conventional magnetic-pickup tones, the GK-3B works with bass-synth and GK processing systems such as Roland V-Bass and GR-55 equipment. The pickup supports basses with approximately 0.6\" to 0.7\" string spacing, and the supplied mounting hardware provides installation options for a wide range of instrument designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA large GK Volume knob provides convenient level adjustment, while DOWN\/S1 and UP\/S2 switches allow compatible connected equipment to be controlled without reaching for a floor or rack unit. The Select switch lets the player choose the normal bass signal, the GK-generated sound, or a combination of both, making the GK-3B a flexible interface for synth-bass and modeling workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDivided Bass Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detects individual bass-string vibration for compatible Roland GK synthesizer and modeling equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4-, 5-, and 6-String Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to fit most common electric bass configurations rather than being limited to four-string instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable String Spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Supports basses with approximately 0.6\" to 0.7\" spacing between strings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOn-Bass GK Volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large smooth-action control provides convenient adjustment of the connected GK device from the instrument.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree-Way Sound Selection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Selects the normal bass signal, GK sound, or a mixture of both from the controller.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRemote Control Switches:\u003c\/strong\u003e DOWN\/S1 and UP\/S2 switches provide direct control of supported functions on compatible GK equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes an attachment holder, double-sided tape, and additional installation parts for mounting to different bass designs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-Profile Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e The divided pickup measures approximately 0.4\" high, supporting installation close to the bridge and strings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIndividual String Detection for GK Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a conventional bass pickup that combines all strings into a standard instrument signal, the GK-3B uses a divided pickup to detect individual string vibration.
