2005 US Jazz Bass scratchplate screws

[ianrendall]

Hi all
I have recently taken delivery of a nice 2005 US Fender J, standard I believe, with S1 switch, black on black maple neck.
The scratchplate screws currently fitted are black and showing signs of corrosion and I'd like to replace them. Does anyone know if the black screws are factory correct for this bass or should I replace them with standard chrome?
Thanks!

Chrome

Super thanks! And I assume the bridge intonation screws and saddle height grubs should be chrome also?

Yes all chrome absolutely everywhere -

That's incorrect. Fender introduced a heavier mass BBOT bridge before moving to the current high mass design that had black springs, black intonation and grub screws. Scratchplate screws were chrome though AFAIK.

ok - i stand corrected but he is talking about an older 2005 model?

So was I. In fact I had the heavier BBOT bridge on my longhorn jazz even before the S1 switch models were thought of.

This is the bridge on my Jazz. Seems that black is correct for the bridge screws.
