JZx Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 I have one answer for question nobody asked, but maybe someone will find it useful: Fender Jazz Bass control plate does not fit Sire V7 2nd gen bass, two screw holes close to the pickguard are in different locations. I checked control plate from American Professional Jazz Bass 2019 (probably all Fender JB control plates are the same except for potentiometer/socket holes). I have also a question: I have V7 and do not use the preamp at all and I do not like the location of the jack socket on the bottom of the body, so I want to replace the control plate to the one from V5 or some other plug-and-play plate with holes for 3 pots and a jack socket. I want to keep the stock parts and put them back when I will be selling the bass and do not want to make new mounting holes, so the buyer will get all original bass without any mods. Does anyone know where can I buy original V5 control plate or a replacement? I am also thinking about getting blank pickguard and cutting control plate out of it, but it will not look really got. Maybe someone has better idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e28m54 Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 I just got a V7 and am thinking about ripping out the active controls too, one idea i had was using the first 3 holes for vol / vol / tone, plugging the 4th and then rerouting the jack to the 5th. could be the cheapest / easiest way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
