Electronics for '69 Les Paul Bass

[Ivansson]

Hi, all.

I just happened to break the "rod" for the tone selector on my Les Paul bass. Plus the phase inverter switch crackles and sometimes mutes the bass. Does anyone know where to find either a tone selector switch (supposed to look lite this: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]), or an entire control plate?

You're not going to find an entire control plate.

Here's a start for the tone selector:

If it doesn't fit you'll have to look at parts distributors like this:

You should be able to find a phase switch replacement easily.

Thanks!

I think I found the phase switch. The tone selector seems harder to find. The thing is, since the control plate is mounted underneath the wood, the rod or what you call it needs to be very long. Really can't find those anywhere...

They usually have that switch here:

I don't see any at the moment, but drop them an email and see. They just had one listed:

They get the same parts in all the time.

They have lots of NOS Gibson parts from the old Kalamazoo plant.
