[jwalsh]

John, welcome to the forum. Do a search on the Casey Lee Ball foundation http://www.ernieball.com/clb/

Oh my. Gentlemen, my most humble apologies. I had no idea. I will attempt to remove my foot from my mouth now.

You GOTTA have one of these Stank. Heck you should be the Ritchie Darling of the 2008 SB LE and have 6 or 7 of them.

Oh how I would love to have one of these.


Right now though, it's not looking good. I'd DEFINITELY have to sell my buttercream for one.

Oh how I don't want to do that but i'll do what I have to do .

Every time adouglas rants about gold hardware it makes me want to punch a koala bear.

I don't know what this means...but agree and fear it at the same time

 

[joshbrake]

Music Man already owns your soul. Why would they give you a free guitar!?

Hey, I didn't agree to that..

 

[hankSRay]

Hey I was just wondering, since we're getting 2 sparkle LE's in a row, does that mean that 07 set a record of sales for the LE's? Just curious as the sparkles were discontinued because they didnt sell and now we're getting sparkle LE's.

I'm all for Sparkle finishes, I may have to get a 5er in this finish. Thanks for bringing something new and exciting out every year (sometimes more than one) BP.

 

[JeffreyB]

I never owned or wanted a sparkle finish until now....

 

[jaylegroove]

I'm generally not that fond of gold hardware, but with that finish I guess I'll like it over chrome or black. Nice teaser.

 

[Bill]

Me likey root beer!

 

[oli@bass]

and I had so hoped for something yellowish.... or "Myung Silver" (or whatever you'd name it) ...but maybe that'll be then added to the standard colour palette

 

[Smallmouth_Bass]

It's a pretty interesting colour. Just curious, how many tries does it usually take to get it right with unusual finishes like this one?

 

[Big Poppa]

once on this one. lucky.....

 

[Colin]

any idea on what colour pickguard is being used?

 

[Eggman]

I did not read all the pages in this thread. Got a bit boring reading about who likes or dislikes gold hardware. I agree with BP that this is about EBMM coming out with another unique offering. I am looking forward to my first Sterling 5 in Rootbeer Sparkle. Rosewood please.

 

[ashiin]

Oh man that looks so awesome Good going BP!

 

[JB1]

Oh mummy!

Sparkle's back!

BP - I'm low on funds and willingness-of-the-wife-to-allow-more-basses.

Will you be doing the root beer in a Bongo?

Love it.

Hey Colin, here's your clue... it kinda got lost in the caps lock.

SNEEK PEEK 2008 LE "BLINGBURST" or "STANKYBURST"
ROOT BEER SPARKLE BURSTING TO AS DARK GOLDEN BROWN...GOLD HARDWARE FOUR PLY BLACK PICK GUARD BLK/TAN/BLK/TAN GOLD HARDWARE

 

[fsmith]

Will the rosewood fingerboard be an option on the Albert Lee 2008 LE? Guess who wants to know?

me wants to know too... This color just begs for a rosewood fretboard.

 

[Big Poppa]

I dont know..ask dargie!

 

[Dr Stankface]

I'm still curious to the piezo availability.

 

[pudgychef]

tasty!
