Rusty Screws a sign of anything?

[garyhead]

Anyway, I've seen a few photos of basses with screws for the back plate that are fairly corroded. 


Anything to worry about or just a consequence of the age of the instrument with maybe some sweat thrown in.

  Depends...

I'd just send you some, but I don't have 5... then you'd have 3 phillips head, and 2 flat... I couldn't live with myself for doing that.

I'll let the experts here weigh in, but I don't see anything out of order with those Series 'tronics. Might replace the little foam block in the battery compartment.

lol...that would drive me bonkers.


Can't wait to get this bass in my hands.  Still several weeks out from that happening unfortunately, but time goes by quickly these days is it will be here before I know it.  While I love my Jazz basses, I miss playing/hearing an Alembic.
