Boss GK-5-KIT-B
The GK5-KIT-B allows for immaculate customization of four-string electric basses with BOSS’s advanced GK-5 Divided Pickup system. Featuring expanded fingertip controls, players can take advantage of the innovative Serial GK digital interface while operating a BOSS guitar/bass synthesizer or V-Guitar product alongside their instrument’s regular pickup signal.
Dedicated Kit for Ultimate Serial GK Integration
The GK5-KIT-B Divided Pickup Kit has been designed exclusively for four-string electric basses. It contains the necessary parts for complete professional installation of BOSS’s GK-5 Divided Pickup with expanded controls. For ease of use, controls can be appropriately positioned at the player’s discretion during the customization process. Parts include the GK-5 unit itself, a circuit board, the Serial GK connector board/plate, a level pot, and switches, plus an LED, wires, springs, and screws.
Expanded Fingertip Control
Once installed, the GK5-KIT-B system works in complete harmony with the instrument’s standard pickup harness. Both outputs can be selected independently or blended using the three-way toggle switch. A three-way momentary switch activates two controls (S1 and S2) that can be assigned to various functions depending on the GK-compatible device attached. Similarly, the GK knob adjusts the volume level or a variety of assignable parameters. A handy LED lets you know when the GK5-KIT-B is receiving power.
Installing this product requires modifications to your guitar/bass. Ask a dealer or repair shop that specializes in modifying and installing guitar/bass parts to do this work. Note that any issues or accidents that may occur during installation, as well as repairs that may be required after installation, are the customer’s responsibility, and Roland offers no guarantees or repairs in this regard.
