I don't think that's Silver Sparkle I think that's Platnuim Silver. It's not sparkley enough to be Silver Sparkle.

Gunsmoke?

 

[GWDavis28]

Gunsmoke?

Nope, Platnuim Silver. It's a flat silver color.

Though Gunsmoke is an awesome color!!

Tim, that thing is awesome and hardtail too boot. Something that you and I have in common. Though your a way better player than I'll ever be.

You are very kind, Sir.

Brought back from the dead.

Still have some work to do on it, but I expect it to make an appearance or two with Cowpilot.

[Dr Stankface]

You did a crackerjack job on that thing.

Now make this a sticky.

#1 I don't like blue basses

#2 Jack is not a Sterling player

#3 He can easily double his money on that

#4 He should plop it back up on eBay and buy a 30th SR

End of story.

Would it be inappropriate for me to call dibs if you ever decide to sell it?

Not at all, but you're about the fourth or fifth person to call it.

#1 I don't like blue basses

#2 Jack is not a Sterling player

1. I like blue basses and, perhaps more importantly, the wife and child really dig this thing.

2. I haven't had one in a couple of years, so we'll see. Choice is good!

3. It's not about money with this thing. It's about bringing it back from a living hell.

4. Those 30th Rays are talking to me at night.

[Figjam]

How can he double his money? He paid nearly $700 for it, I dont see that selling for any more than 850.

Curses!

 

[smallequestrian]

Agreed, maybe $950 on a good day.

 

[hankSRay]

The EBMM Sparkles are a thing of beauty, and I think the fact that they aren't offered anymore adds to their appeal. Jack, hold on to that Sterling at least until I have replenished my funds so I can take it off your hands, you did a hell of a job cleaning that sucker up, you might as well enjoy it for a while.

 

[bovinehost]

If someone offered me double what I paid for it, I would:

a. question their sanity
b. advise them that they were being foolish
c. pause to reflect
d. take their money
e. all of the above


Correct answer is E, all of the above.

But I'd really rather keep it and get it working and out in public.

we need some photos of leftie sparkles

 

[cocobig]

A bit late, but here I am. My beloved white sparkles.

So how can I talk you out of that SR5?

Very nice collection, sir.
