Please don't top-post.
usb_add/usb_del are legacy; best stick to device_add/device_del. Try
something like
(qemu) device_add
usb-host,id=my-stick,hostbus=BUS,hostaddr=ADDR,vendorid=VID,productid=PRID
hostbus, hostaddr, vendorid and productid are optional, and match
anything when omitted.
The command line version of device_add is -device.
To unplug, try
(qemu) device_del my-stick
