How many silver sparkle sterlings were made?

Hey guys,

Just wondering how many silver sparkle sterlings were ever made? I own one and a lot of bassists have been asking me to sell it to them. The serial number is f0486.

Cheers guys

WOW!!!!
I had never even seen one before! that is way cool!
Dont sell it, dude!

I would "explore" trying different pickguards, though...
I donno... maybe "clear"? guys what do you say?

Beautiful!! - I have no idea how many were made, I just wanted to see it! =)

I can say I haven't seen another like it. It looks great. That might be one you want to hold onto. Unless of course the market is flooded with them where you are . Still, its beautiful. Whenever I see that sparkle, I always think of the old Kustom amps that were rolled and padded. Like retro, you know

I actually have a white perloid pickguard on it at the moment. Took the white one off. Some guy offered me $2500Aus for it, but I want to keep it.

Just wondering how rare they are/were etc. I had a blue pearl one as well but I sold it. Not as nice as this one. Thanks for the responses guys.

I would def. say go with the clear pickguard, my blue dawn sterling has a clear pickguard and its just so nice to be able to see the whole finish on top in all its sparkly glory. I second not selling it. Those are probably pretty rare to come by, you should keep it.

That's a really nice looking instrument, congrats on having it.

That's beautiful! Welcome!

Ive seen a VERY SMALL number of silver sparkle Sterlings, and only two StingRay 5s in that finish. Ive only seen one StingRay 4 in silver sparkle, and I owned that one.

Dayum Travis. Sweet pics. How do you manage to make them sparkle so in what looks like normal room lighting?

 

[kaaikop]

Ahhh, that looks fantastic with the white pearl!

Tell you what....let your silver get a little sun & maybe it'll go gold for you:

Hey guys, cheers heaps for all of your responses. I will not sell it. I may just retire it for a while though as I do not like to use it heaps. Plus, the fingerboard is practically impossible to clean and it's already showing some wear. I would love to get my hands on a red sparkle stingray. Does EB do custom order's?
