New Sparkle in the House

[silverburst]

So, I stopped by my local guitar shop (and former EBMM dealer) to pick up my strat which was being set-up, and just had to play this bass. It was brand new and had been hanging on the wall for a couple of years, so they made me an offer I could not refuse...

Are there any other Sparkles available at said store?

Oh, and definetely a nice catch. Matching headstock?

I think you had a very lucky day my friend, that is just GAW-JIS!!!

Why does things like this never happen to a lefty?

... well I did get lucky today myself, I found a lefty upright... but that's different.

Enjoy that beautiful bass!

 

[Randracula]

Nice!

No matching headstock on this one and no more sparkles. They do have a red SR4 still, which I may go back and get if they can give me the same deal.

Nice snag man. If you ever want to part with it drop me a PM please.

Ah man I bumming.

OOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!! I love me some Midnight Blue Sparkle. One of the more rare sparkles IIRC. Sweet score!!

Man! Those sparkle finishes are just the cat's meow! So cool. My all-time favorites. I had a black sparkle Sterling and a blue sparkle similar to that one. Like a moron I traded them away...

I wish mine were sparkle finshed now (except the 30th, of course!).

w00t Awesome, mang!

Wow I've never seen that finish before - it's really stunning! Think a plain black or white/white pearloid guard may suit the maple neck better tho. Or perhaps abalone?

Congrats on the purchase!

I agree, the mother of toilet seat look isn't working for me.

Simply Amazing.......Congrats on the Sweet Score.

What dealer was that? Cool bass. There is an example of a dealer who probably dropped the line because he couldnt sell this sparkle and if he spent three seconds here it would have been gone
