white sparkle question (dont freak Jon, Im not asking to bring it back)

[TSanders]

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.

I remember seeing a white sparkle SR5 but damned if I can remember where now. Probably evilBay.

Yeah we made them....Nobody wanted them until we stopped making them

That reminds me of a line from a Joni Mitchell song.

"No one knows what they've got 'til it's gone.
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."

 

[bovinehost]

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.

"...because instead of one Bongo,
I've got four........


"...and a Stingray 5 to keep them all honest."

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?

 

[jongitarz]

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.

 

[Morrow]

ok Sparky

 

[bovinehost]

Now if we're talking tempura fried preamp, put my name on the invitation list.

 

[jongitarz]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPreamp

 

[manoverboard_21]

Who makes the most aggresive replacement pickup and preamp? Basslines? Aguilar? Bartolini? Lane Poor?

 

[bovinehost]

Most of us, I think I can say with some degree of certainty, prefer the stock electronics.
