Have they finally done something new? First sparkle sunburst I've ever seen.

I like that Jazz. Would be cool if it has a matching headstock.
Yeah it's available on the Player II series as a limited edition. J bass, P bass, Strat and Tele.
The P bass look cool if available with maple fretboard with yellowish neck tint, what a sexy sparkly burst 70s P !!!
It’s new for Fender but G&L and Carvin have had some wow factor sparkle burst finishes.
I like sunburst finishes, and I like sparkle finishes.
I’m not sure I like sparkle sunburst finishes.

I have good news for you: it ain't your bass.
The few sunburst finished hadstocks I’ve seen have not looked that great, but ymmv.
There was a limited run of 60th Anniversary basses available in "Copper Burst" which looked great, but didn't have the big flakes like this.

I saw one of these at the shop last week, they look killer in person. Almost looks like a regular burst at first glance until you catch the sparkle.
This is perfect. A color that will make it easy for me to not purchase.
I have a black sparkle bass and one of the things I love about it is how many opinionated players hate on it. I've been told the matching headstock is horrible also and it's something their kids would like but not them. Good for them, at least they raised smarter kids.
Plus it's a G&L and many hate the headstock. Makes me like it even more!

I'm the opposite.... I don't generally like sparkle or sunburst finishes..... but I do like that one.
