Eye - the bigger the better - Bass are head-bangers an it's my belief that they key in on the eyes when they hit - just a school of thought that I subscribe to -

To change the paint color, lay a sheet of sandpaper or emery on a flat surface, use wire cutters and snip off the post on the back, lay it on the sandpaper and using light finger pressure, sand off the backing color - I actually use a dowel with a popper mouth cut into the end to hold the eye to sand it clean. Use 5 min epoxy to attach to the plug - this also displaces those pesky air bubbles that like to sneak out from under the eye after top-coating the plug.

Schrock's International sells those eyes for 1.99 per 100 -

The eyes have it!!!
