■ 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.

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.

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).
