Decide the position for
attaching the controller.
Consider the following points carefully when
deciding on the best location to install the controller.
• The controller and cable should not hinder perfor-
mance.
• The controller should not block of hamper access to
any of the bass guitar’s controls: volume, tone,
switches, etc.
• The B1D controller should be positioned in an
easily accessible position.
• Do not position the controller in a manner that will
apply excessive force to the cord that connects the
divided pickup and controller.
• Do not position the controller in a manner that will
apply excessive force to the cord that connects the
direct bass guitar signal and controller.
• Do not position the controller in a manner that will
apply excessive force on the controller or cords
when the bass is placed on a guitar stand.
• Do not position the controller in a manner that will
apply excessive force on the B1D or bass guitar
when the bass is placed in its case.

Determine the optimum method
of attaching the controller.

method of attachment in regards to the attachment
position, materials, type of body, playing require-
ments, etc.
Before you install the controller, disconnect the
direct bass guitar signal cable and the 13-pin cable
from the controller.
