Question Roland GK-3B midi pickup on a Ken Smith

Anyone knows if would fit on a Smith bass - is there enough space between the bridge and pickup, and enough room for the rest of the unit to be attached?
Thanks.

OK, I'm not giving up.
I've noticed the pickup position on wide (19mm) models is difference than your standard bass. There's more space between the bridge and b/pickup. A midi pickup would fit easily.
Is this only reserved for the wide version or also available on a standard 18mm bass?

We can move them but the poles might not line up as well.

Maybe, but the Poles for the wide model were made for the position they are in.
