I think it should be a finish option.
Like I said before: That should be a color scheme option for gloss finish with a natural neck. Great look and idea.PJ from Spector took a look at mobis.fr refin today here on Talkbass. Said it looked really cool

I know this has been covered a bunch on here, but im looking to do some modding of my two Legends. Right now i believe I have the EMG 2 band EQ inside both, and im looking to swap those out and experiment with some other pramps.
I know Spector offers the Tone Pump, and the Tone Pump Jr, but Im not too keen on a boost only.
Another option is Aguilar pres. Im a big fan of Aguilar already, so at the moment Im leaning towards those.
What other options would you guys suggest as far as pre-amps go?
Also, just for kicks, what other kinds of pickups have you guys had success with?

The OBP 3 tickled my fancy, but that would cause me to have to drill into my babies 
Well see what else happens, i want experiment before I buy my Euros.

Oh Em GEE!!! I know I voted all gold but that black/gold combo is SIIIIICK!!!! Holy bejeebus that's awesome. I've actually never seen the black/gold combo look bad but I had never thought of it on a Spector! Do it! Do it now!
Here's my Spector Performer 4 dlx. My intro to Spector! I've currently got a Legend Classic 5 on order, and I'm hoping to get it by the end of the week (pics to come at that time, naturally). I'm so excited!
You could wire them up with stacked/concentric knobs. No new holes needed.The OBP 3 tickled my fancy, but that would cause me to have to drill into my babies

You may want to consider the EMG BQC preamp. It has bass/treble, midrange w/sweepable frequency all on concentric pots. The treble also has dip switches for changing the treble frequency center. If you get the system, it comes with a pre-wired a volume and balance control making installation much easier and would not require any drilling mods. However, keep in mind if your pick ups are passive you may want to utilize your existing volume control(s) as I believe the system comes pre-wired with a 25k pot for active pickups. Also, make sure you have enough room in the control cavity to accommodate the preamp, especially if you plan on running it at 18 volts.

Whats the difference between 18 and 9 volts? Both my Legends are passive, but already have active Pres, which i believe are EMGs.
I have to say as a fan of the black Spector & Hipshot bridges and Hipshot & Gotoh tuners that Spector uses for the ReBop and USA Bolt-On lines (and you'll occasionally see as a custom option on the Euro or USA N/T basses) and of black hardware over gold in general (in terms of both looks and reliability - gold pits and wears down far quicker and more often IMO) and I think the "Black Bridge/Gold Saddles" looks wicked and if offered as a custom option I very well might pay extra for them and gold tuners, depending on the finish of the bass.
