1965 Jazz Bass - control panel screws

Hi all,

I wondered if someone could please help?

I recently bought a 1965 Jazz Bass and the three control plate screws appear to have been changed at some point, so I’m trying to find some period-correct replacements.

I assumed it would be these pickguard screws, but following on from advice and having checked pictures of other basses from this year, the control panel screws appear to be a little smaller than the pickguard screws.

I just wondered whether anyone could advise on what type of screw is required and, if so, where I might be able to purchase some from?

Just a thought - If you're going to try and put smaller screws in there than it currently has, will they grip the screwholes properly?

Also, it seems a lot of effort to go to for something which can't really be seen...

Congrats on getting the bass though!  I reckon we all need to see some pics mind you.....
