| Yes. Actually I spec'ed it not as a sparkle, since I find supersparkle a little over the top. I asked for a highly flaked metallic finish, and it came out perfectly.

Now I'm looking forward to the string arrangements I'm recording on DB. |

It explodes when it gets to the first and second fret.

So I just ordered some Sadowsky 4-string HC's for my Lakland DJ4. It's a great bass but it's certainly not my Metro HPJ. I'm hoping it'll give it a fraction of that great Sadowsky tone. I was trying to decide between the Aguilar 70's wind and routing it and dropping in Nordy Big Singles...
Then I figured I can't go wrong with Sadowskys... they seem to make everything better, right? 
Of course this will all be run thru a Sadowsky outboard.
