A center mounted GK-3B pickup for a 4 string bass would normally use the 4 inner pickup poles, and exclude the 2 outer pickup poles,
so it would use GK 13 DIN pins 2,3,4,5 and common ground on the outer shell.

If you wanted to include a GK Volume control, you could use this simple arrangement in the schematic below, with only a 390 ohm resistor and a 1K ohm potentiometer.
The schematic is for a simple "regular bass jack to GK", but the GK Volume part can be used.

This sounds exactly like what I'm trying to do, but the image in your post throws error "postimage free image hosting, image not found or was removed".  Can you re-post the image?  I've seen several circuit diagrams that show how to just get a standard guitar to play the COSM models, but what I really want is that PLUS the ability to send the standard guitar output to one of the six individual string inputs so that I could trigger synth sounds monophonically.  Thanks!

Re posted  the schematic:

6 DIP switches let you select one or more GK string inputs to use the normal guitar signal on for monophonic synth or pitch to midi,
the DIP switch selection will depend on which part of the guitar scale you are using.

Volume control pot to do the "GK Vol" functions.

S1 and S2 foot switches.
