The majority says black.
That's why you should go with gold.
Seriously, black usually doesn't work with dark wood…gold makes it come alive.
Just look at the photo above. At first I thought the bass had black speed knobs. Hard to tell, really.
Just look at the golden strip of wood down the middle of the body…looks great.
Wouldn't quite be the same with a black strip.
