Fly,
I'm trying to picture you playing it. I think that the 4 chrome knobs would show up better on stage, and give it a more workmanlike look, whereas the black would sort of fade into the body, giving a slicker, more of-a-piece look. Since to me you look and write more like a craftsman than someone who is trying to project that he was born with a bass in his hand, I'd say accentuate the little things and go with the chrome.
Half the secret to making something look easy is to make sure that people know that it's complicated.
