Ok, I've been GASing for a bass in a sparkle finish for quite some time and was hoping to see some examples as it will be my next purchase. My dream would be a MM in a sparkle finish but I almost never see them. I'm open to all colors except maybe orange or pink. 
Are there any companies major or small that produce the sparkle finish on a regular basis and not as some anniversary or special?
Is custom the way to go?
Anyone have pics or links?
Please Post em!

There may be some other DiPinto styles available with sparkle paint (the Belvederes, but they have a huge MOTO pickguard). But look around.

Amazing playing and looking (imho) instrument.

I should talk - I have a purple sparkle 12 string Danelectro guitar. It goes with my purple sparkle Ludwig drumset. I keep meaning to paint a bass purple sparkle, but I haven't gotten there yet. Pics when I get home (perhaps).

Just got it back this month from Mike Lull. The beginning of this year I picked up a BiCentennial T-Bird off of Craig's List. It was in bad shape, busted truss rod, mangled wiring. So Mike re-habbed it into a mofo player - its all original parts except the neck of course. Headstock Decal by Factory Guy:
