BOSS GK-5B Divided Pickup for Bass

The GK-5B bass pickup revolutionises how your electric bass interfaces with BOSS guitar synthesizer products through its advanced Serial GK digital technology. This user-installable pickup represents a significant leap forward from the previous analogue 13-pin interface, unlocking a universe of new sonic possibilities for bass synthesis applications.

What sets the GK-5B apart from standard bass pickups is its divided pickup design, which senses each string individually rather than combining all string signals into a single output. This isolated string information enables compatible BOSS products like the GM-800 to perform sophisticated processing techniques that simply aren't possible with conventional pickups, opening up advanced synthesis capabilities for bass players.

The Serial GK system itself features a secure, space-saving connection with a lower profile than previous GK products, while BOSS BGK series cables are specifically engineered for optimal performance with this digital interface. These cables prove more durable and easier to handle than their 13-pin analogue predecessors, making the entire system more practical for live and studio use.

Installation versatility is a key strength of the GK-5B, with its ample width and six internal sensors supporting nearly any electric bass configuration from four to six strings. The pickup's adjustable sensor spacing can be fine-tuned from underneath to perfectly match your instrument's exact bridge spacing, ensuring optimal performance regardless of your bass guitar's specifications.
