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!!! :D

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!
 
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.
 
Ah man I was working the guy to buy that, but I didn't have enough!!!!!

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

Ah man I bumming. :(

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!).
 
Holy Cow!! You have something there that should stay in your family. Unbelievable really.

That shore is a good looking too.

Congrats.

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? :D

Congrats on the purchase!
 
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
