Tim Bough Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Hi there, I have a Burns Bison Bass (2000 reissue) I have had this guitar since they were first released. Recently an issue has developed with the 4 way selector knob/switch. ie it will only move freely to 3 positions and feels like a mechanical issue within the switch. I have had a look at the switch inside, but there is not a lot to see to my untrained eye. The bass still works fine, but will not switch to the "wild dog" setting. Does anyone know where I could source a replacement part. PS I dont mind if I have to switch for a different 4 way seletor and modify the scratchplate, ie put in a tele 4 way selector if that is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 You need a 3 pole 4 way switch. Schematics: Example switch: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265436631199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Having once owned an original Burns Bison, I agree that you can't have a Bison without a Wild Dog tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Sorry, switch should be https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255261863410 - that other one is 4 pole 3 way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
