I have owned 2 different white sparkle Sterlings. I love the finish. I have seen it on a couple 4 string Rays, but never a StingRay 5.

Has anyone seen a StingRay 5 in white sparkle?? Do you have pics of one??

Did they make any Jon??

I checked Bass Centrals photos and didnt see one.
 
Don't it always seem to go
You don't know what you've got till it's gone -
they stopped making sparkles
cuz they didn't sell a lot

Dammit, just got an email from Joni Mitchell's lawyer.

I owe them 34 cents.

My analyst told me that I was right out of my head. But I said dear doctor, I think that it's you instead. Because I've got a thing that's unique and new and because of it I'll have the last laugh on you. Instead of one head, I've got two. :p
 
Hey Jon,probably a stupid question,but will Ernie Ball try some more sparkle finishes or are there plans for flamed tops somewhere down the road? And is it possible to run a StingRay on 18 volts?

Sparkle finishes...I don't know.

Fancy tops....I don't know. We did it on the 20th anniv. SR's but again, I don't know.

18 volts, only if you like fried preamp with your boiled strings.
