Mark the Installation position
for the divided Pickup.
The divided pickup should be located between the
rear pickup and bridge so that the cable end of the
pickup is oriented toward the lower bass string (the
pickup will not function if it is attached facing the
opposite direction).
The divided pickup is designed for use on basses
with up to 6 strings (6B, 5E, 4A, 3D, 2G, 1C). If the
pickup is to be used on a 4-string bass, align the 4
magnetic yokes, in the center portion of the pickup,
with the strings.
For 5-string basses with a [B, E, A, D, G] tuning,
use the 5 magnetic yokes on the cable end of the
pickup. If the tuning is [E, A, D, G, C] use the 5
magnetic yokes opposite the cable end of the
pickup.
• For 4-string basses (4E, 3A, 2D, 1G)
Place the divided pickup on the body and decide
the optimum position for installation.
From the low end string side, slide the divided
pickup under the bass guitar strings. Using the
magnetic attraction of the pickup to the strings,
adjust the position so that each string passes over
its corresponding magnetic yoke.
Attaching the Divided Pickup
String
Pickup’s Magnetic Yokes
Rear Pickup
Adjust the position of the pickup so that it meets the
conditions listed below.
1. Each string must pass over its corresponding
magnet.
The pickup will not function properly if the
string does not properly pass over the magnetic
yoke. Check that the strings pass over the
magnetic yokes, even when bending the strings.
2. The distance between the divided pickup
and the bridge should be about 10-20mm
(0.39"-0.79").
*
Make sure the pickup is not in contact with
the bridge.
*
The distance can be increased to more than
20mm (0.79") as long as the strings pass over
the magnetic yokes when bending the strings.

• For 6-string basses (6B, 5E, 4A, 3D, 2G, 1C)
3. String height should not be widely varied.
Extreme variations in string height will result
in a poor output level for the pickup (The
output level can be somewhat controlled with
the G50’s Gain Setting).
