Expand Your Creative Range with a BOSS Divided Pickup
The GK-5B Divided Pickup is a specialized bass pickup designed for the GM-800 and other BOSS guitar synthesizer products. Unlike standard guitar pickups—which send all string signals to a combined output—the GK-5B senses each string individually, sending their signals to separate outputs within the Serial GK system. This isolated string information allows your compatible BOSS product to perform all sorts of advanced processing feats not possible with standard pickups.
About the Next-Generation Serial GK System
Serial GK is a new digital instrument interface developed for BOSS guitar synthesizers. It features a secure, space-saving connection that offers a lower profile than previous GK products. BOSS BGK series cables are specially designed for optimum performance with the Serial GK system, and they’re more durable and easier to handle than 13-pin analog cables.
Compatible with Most Basses
The GK-5B’s ample width and six internal sensors support installation on nearly any electric bass with four, five, or six strings. Going further, you can adjust the sensor spacing from underneath the pickup to perfectly match the exact bridge spacing on your instrument.
