FenderStandard Bass Neck Plate
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Four-bolt chrome neck plate for Fender-style bolt-on guitars and basses. Buy it to replace a corroded, scratched, or missing plate.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a pitted or rusted plate on an older instrument
- Finishing a partscaster build with standard Fender bolt spacing
- Cleaning up cosmetics after a neck removal or shim job
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Set-neck or neck-through instruments with no bolt joint
- Guitars using three-bolt, five-bolt, or micro-tilt neck mounts
- Anyone expecting a tone or sustain change from a plate swap
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
Metal plate, not a washer set
Spreads clamping force across the heel pocket so screw heads do not dig into the body wood.
Detail 03
Bass-spec plate
Bass and guitar heels often share the same four-bolt footprint, so this crosses over to many six-string bodies.
Detail 04
$25.99 part
Cheap enough to swap for cosmetics alone, which is the main reason people buy one.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Screws are not included unless stated. Reuse yours or buy neck screws separately.
- 02Measure hole spacing on your current plate. Aftermarket bodies vary.
- 03Removing the neck means restringing and likely a truss rod and intonation reset.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does a neck plate change the tone?
No meaningful change. A plate distributes screw pressure at the neck joint. Any difference you hear from a swap comes from how tightly the neck was reseated, not the plate itself.
02Will this fit a Squier or an import Strat copy?
Usually, if the body uses the standard four-bolt rectangular pattern. Import bodies sometimes differ. Pull your existing plate and measure the hole spacing first.
03Do I get screws with it?
Plan on reusing your original neck screws. If they are stripped or rusted, buy a matching set of four neck screws at the same time.
04How hard is it to install?
Loosen strings, remove four screws, swap the plate, reseat the neck, retighten evenly. Then tune up and check intonation and action, since the neck moved.
