I went for mop because of the colour of the bass.That purple deserves something trashy.I recently saw some vinyl stick on material that could be cut to shape.Might as well put some of that on the tuner paddles as well.

I'd definatly stick with the chrome. Mother of pearl knobs as well as pick guard might look a bit much perhaps.
 
Don't listen to these blasphemes! Mother of pearl is the right way and the only way you should consider. Turn away from the dark side of the chrome and embrace the beauty and goodness of M.O.P..
 
I think the chrome looks better. The MOP may blend in too much w/ the pickguard making the knobs hard to see...beautiful bass by the way...I love that color.
 
I think the MOP knobs are worth a try, if they're not to expensive. It would be cool because it would keep the same theme going that you have on the black SR5. If you don't like them, you don't have to use them. Might as well try. :)
