FenderJazz Bass Control Plate Chrome
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Chrome control plate for a Jazz Bass. Replaces a scratched, tarnished or drilled-out plate on a two-pickup J-style instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cleaning up a worn plate on a gigged Jazz Bass
- Restoring a bass after a previous owner's control mod
- Matching chrome hardware after a bridge or tuner swap
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Precision Basses, which use a different plate shape
- Basses with active preamps needing extra control holes
- Anyone wanting black or gold hardware to match
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
JJ pickup layout
Sized for the standard two-pickup Jazz control set: volume, volume, tone.
Detail 03
Chrome finish
Bright and reflective. It will show fingerprints and eventually pit if you sweat heavily.
Detail 04
Plate-mounted controls
Pots and jack mount to the plate itself, so the whole control set lifts out as one piece.

Know before you order
- 01Pots, knobs, jack, wiring and mounting screws are not included

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this include the pots and jack?
No. It is the plate only. Transfer your existing controls or buy them separately.
02Will it fit a Precision Bass?
No. The P-Bass control plate has a different shape and screw pattern.
03Do I need soldering skills?
Yes, unless you can lift the entire control assembly out intact and drop it into the new plate without disturbing the joints.
04Will it match my existing chrome hardware?
Chrome from different production runs can vary slightly in brightness, but it will read as chrome alongside standard Fender hardware.
