Just standard brass on the hardware, Dave. It's more subtle in person.
I would dig the black hardware, Peter. When we are making up recipes for guitars and basses to put in our own showroom, my mom usually shoots down the black hardware requests I chime in with over and over again! On this bass, it would look like a sharp dresser with the black hardware.
And the top is really lovely in person. That gentle bit of flame figure, and the hint-of-green coolness of the Myrtle is so pretty. With the oil finish, it's a very elegant bass. It sounds a little peppier than a standard Brown Bass too.
