Hardware Mod for Fender Classic Series '51 Precision Bass MIJ

[Dalton Akins]

Hey, y'all!

I just recently purchased a '51 Precision Bass MIJ and have been considering swapping out the tuners/knobs/bridge for gold hardware. I don't think these basses are being produced anymore... but was wondering if anyone knew where to start on finding hardware for this bass.

Thanks!

Gotoh makes the tuners in gold. Knobs should be easy to find as well. Not sure about the bridge.

Drop-in gold tuning machines (Gotoh), string tree/disk, neck plate, control plate, knobs, screws, strap buttons, even the trough body string ferrules (although not sure about hole size situation because MIJ metric) are all easy to find.

A complete gold plated '51 P bass bridge assembly or even just the base plate, not so much.
