Fender American Vintage '62 Jazz Bass Detent Spring Plate Steel

Restore Tension to the Lower Control Knob

The Fender American Vintage ’62 Jazz Bass Detent Spring Plate is a small steel replacement part for the American Vintage ’62 Jazz Bass. It mounts under the fastening nut for the dual potentiometer, where it provides tension for the lower control knob.

This part is useful when the lower knob on the dual control feels loose, slips too easily, or no longer holds its position as expected. By adding tension at the control, the detent spring plate helps the stacked knob setup feel more secure during volume or tone adjustment.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this detent spring plate suits bass players and repairers maintaining an American Vintage ’62 Jazz Bass, especially when the lower control knob on the dual potentiometer needs proper tension again.
