My Railboard came back from SE today, with the new GK-3 pickup installed and the GR-55 guitar synthesizer. The pickup is on the melody strings only. I can't figure out how to get the bass strings to play while hooked up to the GR-55. I connected the small guitar cord from stick to the GK-3 normal pickup jack. Still no bass output.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mark

I fiddled with the GR-55 some more...a simple fix..just a matter of pluging guitar out from GR-55 to bass amp....easy peasy

Also you might want to make sure you set your GUITAR OUT setting in the setup to "BOTH" so you get both the hex pickup sound and your regular pickup sound coming out of the GUITAR OUT jack or you can set it so all you hear is your regular pickup sound

EDIT: I thought about this after I wrote it and realized what you were intending!! haha, so the melody side is only coming through the gk-3 pickup, and the bass side is going by standard 1/4 (just the tip of a stereo cable) into the GK-3 1/4 input and is being processed as the "normal guitar" option on the GR-55
GOT IT
lol


Wait, so how exactly is this all set up? I'm also getting my stick with a GK-3 on the melody side.
I had been assuming that I would have to split my signal as follows:
Stick stereo output >
Stereo ring/tip(melody/bass) splitter >
Melody side of splitter into GK-3 input, bass side of split directly to bass rig>
13-pin connector out of Gk-3 into GR-55.
Gr-55 and bass rig sound separately.

HOWEVER, your question here has implied to me that the GK-3 1/4 input is actually a... stereo input and that I'll be able to split both the bass and the melody down the 13-pin connector? Meaning one stereo 1/4 from chapman to GK-3, and one output cable via 13pin connector to gr-55? Your question then asked how to get the bypassed bass signal out of the gr-55 while the melody side gk-3 pickup still got processed by the gr-55, yes?
This would mean less wire coming off the stick...
Any help understanding this would be great!!!

Yes. There is a short guitar cable that connects the stick to the GK-3. A 13 pin cord connects the GK-3 to the GR-55. I was able to run a regular cord from the guitar out on the GR-55 to my bass amp. I used another cord running from the GR55 to my melody amp.
