Black or Chrome machineheads?

[Grahambythesea]

Ever since I acquired a Spector Coda I have thought the Black “Y” machineheads look a little odd on what is basically a Jazz style headstock. The US made custom versions use clover leaf shaped machineheads so I bought a set and have fitted them. Now I’m not sure, which should I keep on.

Chrome, I found that when I “stealthed” a bass that on stage the machineheads couldn’t be seen and it put me off as it didn’t look right.

Do they add any weight?

If not, I'd probably get the cloverheads in black... matches the bridge.

If in doubt, ask yourself - "What would Spinal Tap do?" 😉

No they are the same.
