Well, the Screws and pole pieces are not stainless steel so sweat and salt in your body left on the bass can cause metal to rust. Wipe of the bass when you play and that should be ok for now. All these parts can be replaced but you must maintain the Bass. I see basses over 20 years with no rust and some newer with some rust there. It is up to how the Bass is taken care of and who played it body-chemistry wise..
