BOSS GK5-KIT-B

Dedicated Kit for Ultimate Serial GK Integration
The GK5-KIT-B Divided Pickup Kit has been designed exclusively for electric basses with four, five, or six strings. It contains the necessary parts for complete professional installation of BOSS’s GK-5B 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-5B unit itself, a bespoke circuit board, the Serial GK connector board/plate, volume pot, and switches, plus an LED, wires, springs, and screws.

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, while the GK volume knob adjusts synth level, it can also be used to continuously control a variety of assignable parameters. A handy
