Strong match

Who this is for

  • Replacing a corroded or scratched plate on a Deluxe Jazz Bass
  • Rewiring a Jazz Bass and installing fresh hardware
  • Cleaning up a used bass where the plate has worn through

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Standard Jazz Basses, whose control layout differs from the Deluxe
  • Anyone expecting pots, knobs, jack or preamp — plate only
  • Players hoping for a sound change; this is a mounting part

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

You reuse your existing pots, preamp and jack, or source new ones separately.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Count the knobs on your bass and match the hole pattern before ordering
  2. 02No pots, knobs, jack, preamp or screws included
  3. 03Moving a loaded harness across requires desoldering the output jack

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Will this fit a standard Jazz Bass?

It is cut for the Deluxe control layout. A standard Jazz Bass uses a different hole pattern, so check yours against the plate first.

02Are the knobs included?

No. It is the bare chrome plate. Pots, knobs, jack and any preamp electronics come from your existing bass or are bought separately.

03Can I install this myself?

Yes, with basic soldering. The plate unscrews from the body, and the jack and pot grounds need desoldering and reconnecting.

04Does chrome match my bass hardware?

It matches standard chrome bridges and tuners. If your bass has black or gold hardware, the plate will stand out.
