Hi guys, I'm restoring a 70's Jazz Bass and I need to get some parts since most of the original metal parts are very badly corroded. The control plate seems to be no problem to find but I cant seem to find a genuine 3 bolt Jazz bass neck plate ( F logo).

Can you guys point me in the right direction, are parts available directly from Fender or is there a good source out there?

Thanks much.

I think the only way to get a Fender neck from Fender is to go to a Fender dealer, they tell you it's a go for a new neck then they can order one from Fender. Fender doesn't just sell new necks to anyone with out yours being inspected first and making sure you need a new one. I think I read that here on the FAQ somewhere. Good luck on the restoration.

Thanks for the reply man. The neck is fine I just need the neck PLATE, the 3 hole (4 on most guitars) chrome plate that the screws go through to hold the neck in place, the plate thats right where the neck meets the body on the back of the guitar. Image

Oh man, sorry about that. I think a Fender dealer should be able to get you one. If not Ebay.

It's cool, I appreciated the reply and I figured you misread the original post, so no worries.

My problem is I'm not in the U.S so I don't have a local Fender dealer, I was really hoping somebody would know a good online source. I have a Miami shipping address so the shipping part is no problem, I just need to locate one.

I did check Ebay, none of the stores have the 3 bolt bass neck plate, they have the more generic parts like the 4 bolt plates etc. There was 1 store that had one but it was in used condition.

So once again if anyone knows a good online source for Fender hardware and parts please let me know, all suggestions are welcome.

Thanks again.

How bad is the corrosion? It may be possible to have the original bead blasted and re-chromed. Most corrosion is usually just on the surface. Just a suggestion that may help.
