Want to make your playing more fun? Fed up of spending loads of dosh on analogue effects
This is an amazing item that can transform the way that you play your bass, however first thing's first you need to be aware that you need a GK compatible multi effects pedal or interface to use this such as the GI-20, GR-20 or GR-55.This pickup is easy to use and easy to install, It is mounted externally but you can choose an internal kit if you want to. The pickup can be mounted in one of 3 ways and comes with a clamp to help, how you install it will depend on what type of bass you own and the real estate available for mounting, however each one is very easy to do.Mounting the pickup itself onto the body can either be done with double sided tape & risers (depending on string height) that is included or via screw mounting.The controls (the unit itself that the GK & 6.3mm cable plug into) are mounted with the included mount, the cable is long enough to allow it to be mounted comfortably on most basses and can be wound into the control unit and comes with little clamps to hold it in place.Adjusting the GK-3B is easy. The packaging comes with a guide for string space (in case you need to make adjustments) and a screwdriver to help you do so. If you need to adjust for string spacing it's just a simple pull of a lever and a turn of a screwdriver.The GK-3B can also work as a standard pickup depending on what type of unit you plug it into, my GR-55 allows me to use the GK-3B as a pickup along with my regular pickups ontop of the two PCM synth sounds, while my GR-20 allows me to use my pickups, PCM or a mix of both.This is a really fantastic product and is worth it depending on issues you may have playing other intstruments. Take a further look at available interfaces before spending first if you're going to use it for external MIDI control, as my GR-55 has to be transposed down an octave via a DAW, so I imagine people using hardware synths may run into some issues.
