If it's any consolation I picked up the the stripped Euro body/neck in the classifieds and I'm putting Black on that one after I refin it.

But Definately, Black Hardware.

+1 for black hardware | I'm eyeing a USA bolt on with jazz pickups with an Aggie preamp. If I go for it, it will be a buy before you try proposition, which from a quality standpoint isn't a concern on a Spector but from a tone standpoint I don't know what to expect.
Any one out there have a clip or a link to a clip of a USA bolt on jazz pu Spector. Or possibly any comment on the tone as it relates to my current Euro 4LX poplar burl bass. |

The red one is waiting for a 9v USA to come in. I bought one from Spector on 9-10-12.
The black one has a Tone Pump. The natural, pre Kramer 9v USA. I might put the new 9v in the black one (assuming I don't die from old age waiting for it to come in).
