Nasty, Naughty Sterling!

No, not the guy.

The sparkle Sterling. First, how it arrived:

Yikes! You thought it looked bad in the eBay photos?

Note spots gnawed by beavers. Also note missing cloverleaf and bent G tuner.

Isn't that pretty? Biohazard alert. This fool never even wiped it down, I swear.

Nasty, nasty, nasty.

I told you the deal wasn't that good, right?

Okay, let me get the 'clean' photos.......

It took a while to get the board looking like this again!

Back of the body.

Cleaned up purdy good, I reckon.

For the database, Gavin!

Nice work there Jackson...didja have to scrape the gunk off the board with a razor?

 

[bovinehost]

I used some plastic sort of scraper thing so I wouldn't scratch the board up.

Then it was just good old EBMM guitar polish followed by Dunlop deep cleaner and then some Dunlop conditioner. Stuff works pretty good, eh?

 

[drgroovenstein]

I want a sparkle bass now!

Lookin' good, I must say...

Frets look like a little wear, is that the worst of it?

 

[Motojunkie]

The after shots certainly look worth it. So what if you had to get a tetnus shot?

 

[Steve Dude Barr]

Stuff works pretty good, eh?

Helllyeah it does...you just about doubled what you paid for it IMO.

 

[TSanders]

Wow Jack. That looks great.

 

[Figjam]

[Steve Dude Barr]

[kaaikop]

This baby is back to life!

Jack, that thing looks great!!!! It was nasty when you got it that's for sure, I've never seen a bass or guitar that gross.

Congrats, which sparkle Blue is it exactly??

And I thought my sterling looked bad when I got it... mine was no where near that dirty, just alot of chewed up frets. EB made it look like magic again though for which Im eternally grateful. Good job on the cleanup Jack!! Fix them tuners!!!!

 

[bovinehost]

I have no idea what that finish is called. Stratus Blue Sparkle? Just Blue Sparkle?

You got me.

 

[Aragorn35016]

For some reason when I look at it, It makes me want a snow cone.
