Unable to find one locally, anybody got a good online source?
Here's the catch: I need one with a 7/16" mount, NOT the mini type with 1/4" mount. |

Do you have a 7/16" hole drilled in your bass that is too large for a 1/4" switch?
I would recommend that you re-drill the hole to fit the next biggest switch. |

They've got a couple more of the same configuration with mounting diameter of a little under or over 1/2" |

| | | i took two of these, dis-assembled them and built them into one DPDT on-on-on to use for my guitar's pickup selector, so i could have separate tones that both kicked out when the switch was in the middle.

Ignore the picture in the catalog cause it is the wrong picture and look at the specs, this is a short large bat Chrome toggle
Hole size is .472"
Same switch as we use here

| | | | oh yeah, that'll work. it's basically the same little blue plastic cube as the mini-toggles you always see, but with a big threaded shaft and a fat toggle.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: DFW | | | I ended up cleaning and re-using the original. Replaced everything else in the control cavity and wanted to replace that too, but I can live with it. Thanks for all the suggestions... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
