Its no secret that I'm a huge MxPx fan, and so when I had the chance to buy back my old Sparkle Ray, that just happened to be a clone of 1 of Mike Herrera's, I jumped on it. After rediscovering the joy of this Stingray, I dubbed it "Cristalena," after the MxPx song of the same name. I just recently received a black pickguard courtesy of Fuzzy Dynamite (you r0x3eZ my s0xerXZ!), and here are the results of the new face lift:

Here is where I tried "provoking" the sparkle:

Cristalena, ya she's so cool
Crsitalena, she's out of control
Half the time she don't know where she's at
Cristalena don't know much about that
But you know, and I know Cristalena
But you know, and I know where I've seen her
Cristalena, she's in her own world
she's always happy as a littly girl
Cristalen's nice unless she's annoyed
Cristalena happens to like boys - but not me
Cristalena, where'd you go?
Don't even know where you've been
Cristalena, won't you stay?
Please don't go away, won't you be my friend?


Be jealous. Be very jealous. :cool:

Mike Herrera has a LOT of SR's. Lot's of sparkles. They are really cool people (Their tech James is a great guy as well)

I taught my son to play guitar using MxPx songs..Now he's a "Chick magnet"" If ya know what I mean

What color is that bass, exactly?

It looks very different from my blue sparkle Sterling.

Come to think of it, I don't really know what mine is called. Stratus Blue Sparkle or something?

It is Glacial Blue Sparkle. Yes, yours looks like Stratus Blue Sparkle. Jesus, Jack. You're supposed to know your product.

Jon. I wouldn't mind a totally screwed one. :(

If I'd been a dealer back when sparkles were being made, we'd still have sparkles, dammit!

Eh, what I meant to say was, ahem, I stay current on what's available now.

*cough cough*

I love that the forum is so multi cultural. I understand that Jacko is a linguistics expert, or was one in a previous life. so maybe he can shed some light on this dialect?

If only you were as influential as we'd like to believe: sparkles would never have been discontinued, but rather flourishing and enjoying a comparable amount of stage time to "boring black," "spiritless sunburst," or "well-worn white."
