Spareparts for Basses

You can use bass guitar replacement parts for repairs, maintenance and instrument modifications. You can replace a worn component, improve playability or assemble a bass guitar from parts to your own specifications. With every purchase, check compatibility: the number of strings, scale length, hole spacing, neck mounting method and the dimensions of the body routs.

Which parts affect playing the most?

Are you repairing or modifying?

For a repair, look for a part of the same type and dimensions as the original so that you do not need to alter the body routs. When modifying or assembling an instrument, first outline which components you will need and whether they fit together. Machine heads, bridges, pickguards and electronics are replaced most often. The selection includes parts from Gotoh, Warwick, Fender, Partsland and Dr.Parts.

Before ordering, photograph the original part and the place where it will fit, then measure the key dimensions. Millimetres matter for parts mounted on the body or neck, so it is better to check them beforehand than discover a mismatch during installation. For bridges and machine heads, check the number of strings and their spacing.

Select small parts such as screws and washers separately as well, because their diameter and thread vary between manufacturers. If you are unsure, compare the part with the original and check the details in the description.
