Fender Control Plate, Vint. 51 P Bass

Many of the new ones are too small (maybe made for a Squier?). But, this one fits my real 1955 P-Bass.

Not much to say. The chrome is high quality and everything looks good. Is easy to drill for other modifications.

I think I had everything covered in my previous comment. This will do the job for you, and if you do have to drill it out, the metal is so soft it’s only a matter of seconds to widen the holes.

Had to dull it up a bit.

Solid plate. Exact retro size - fits '51 pbass body perfectly.

The holes on the plate are too small to fit a standard potentiometer. Otherwise the plate seems to be of good quality.

First of all, it does appear to be a genuine Fender product. But it is drilled for the smaller pots not fit for American CTS pots. It doesn’t fit my Squier Vintage Modified 51 precision either, the drilled holes do not line up with the plate, the only option would be drilling a new hole on the body.

This is absolutely not a Fender part, nor is it even Fender (USA) spec. It has 8mm potentiometer holes (import-spec), and will not fit USA-spec CTS/Bourns pots. It's a well made/well-chromed part - but be aware you'll either need to use cheapy import-spec pots, or you'll need to enlarge the holes to 3/8".
