And gratuitous picture of 2 Amethyst side by side when I did my transition :
That twosome deserves the Yin and Yang Award!
EDIT: Hey, I never noticed until now. BOTH basses have gold hardware!
I have a thing for the bling!!!

Since my last picture post was of my 2007 ceramic, I guess I should right that wrong and post a picture of my Special. It's also a 5HH, a 2019 Tobacco Burst. Not a sparkle, but it is the right bass for me. 
I've been playing this one for a while tonight, working on a song we're going to try adding - Bodhisattva by Steely Dan!
Will probably be a challenge for me but I was looking at a chord chart and doing some preliminary playing along and it might not be as hard as I thought. Hard enough, though.

I love the dark purple finish
I think that’s plumkin. It flips from orange to purple depending on how the light hits it. Such a great finish.
I’ve always admired that Champaign pink sparkle BFR and Ginger-burst. Another great candidate for a cream pearl pickguard. Like root beer and cream soda with the foam on top.I'll play too

Yup, it's a very cool finish. So glad I jumped on it when they were available as I believe they only did 5.
So sweet. Ever considered a clear pickguard and gold hardware with white pickup cover for this one?
I do have a clear guard (see the profile pick) for it but I didn't consider the white pickup cover or gold hardware. That is pretty intriguing though. I do like the black hardware on it though.
I'll play too

All beautiful. But this one ... wow!
Ernie Ball has some great neutral / earth tones sparkle finishes. BTW, a new one listed on Reverb. I forgot how much sparkle these have with matching headstock and painted neck. Wow!! 8.2 lbs. Price isn’t too bad either.All beautiful. But this one ... wow!

Even has a beautiful backside, though I know plenty of people don't like the feel of painted necks:
