Attach the Divided Pickup
(Removable) Fittings Attachment
The divided pickup can easily be removed yet
pickup height adjustment is still maintained.
1. Apply the base plate’s double-sided adhesive
tape, to the underside of the base plate. (Do not
remove the backing yet.)
2. Fix the Pickup Attachment Fittings to the
Divided Pickup with the screws and springs.
For proper height adjustment, select the best
length screw (6, 8, 10, 12mm).
To start with, loosely fix the pickup with the
6mm screws, and adjust the height after the base
plate is attached to the body.
3. Use the 3x6 screws (with washer) to attach the
pickup attachment fittings to the base plate.
4. With the pickup carefully positioned on the bass
body, mark the position where the base plates
(left/right) will be attached.
5. Remove the backing from the double-sided
adhesive tape on the base plates (left/right).
6. Without letting the adhesive side of the tape
come in contact with the bass body, position the
base plate over the place where it is to be
attached and then lower the base plate onto the
body surface.
* Holding both ends of the pickup, apply light
pressure to attach the pickup to the body.
* If the base plate is to be attached with screws,
remove the pickup and pickup attachment fittings
from the base plate. Drill a 2mm (0.08”, approx).
diameter hole into the bass guitar’s body making
sure that the hole is drilled vertically. Use the plate
tapping screws (3x10mm) to fix the base plate to
the bass guitar body.
7. With the bass properly tuned, use the small
screws to adjust the distance between each of
the strings and their corresponding pickup yoke.
With each string fretted at its highest note on the
neck, check the distance between each string
and its corresponding pickup using the supplied
clearance gauge (

pg. 7).
* To remove the base plate from the bass guitar’s
body, use a minus screwdriver to gently pry the
base plate from the body, or use a pair of pliers to
lift the base plate from the body. Either way, be
careful not to scratch or damage the bass guitar
body or the base plate while removing the base
plate.
8. Once pickup height has been properly set, adjust
the individual input levels on the Guitar MIDI
Converter (Refer to pg. 14. Also, the Guitar
MIDI Converter manual).
The pickup can be removed by loosening the
3x6mm small screws (with washer), and sliding
the pickup attachment fittings out of the base
plate. The next time the pickup is attached to
the base plate, the previously set height
adjustment will be maintained so further
height adjustment will not be necessary.
