Gorgeous.
But don’t give up on a Bootsy star bass.

My pearl white fretless parts jazz bass that I built over 20 years ago. I sold it over 10 years ago.

MIJ Fender Precision Lyte - (I've since replaced the knobs to all gold). My first bass, bought used in the late 90s, and for the early years it was my only. Still one of my favs, and the only one I'll likely never sell.
Does SBMM count as another company?
How did this tread, evolve so suddenly to a white bass tread?
Well, ok we all know this was coming, so might as well do it already....

All your basses are glamour level of color and slickness. The new one looks like an expensive wedding dress!
My basses look so basic in comparison.
I tend to love the looks of an old Precision with the paint stripped off, what I call 60's hippie basses.
Here is my slickest looking bass and it's still pretty basic, I call it church bass (even though I don't go to church).

White bass? Yes.
Sparkles? Yes.
Flamey roasted maple neck? Yes.
5 strings? Yes.
Gold hardware? Pass. I'd have preferred black.
Blingy strap? Perfect for my Liberace tribute band.
Have fun with it. I've long said I'd like to repaint my Ibanez SR 206 white, but some subtle sparkle looks great too.

I bet you would like the board I'm putting together.
Love your bass. But not being fashionista, the answer to your question is no it hasn’t.
I used to have an all white Spector Euro 4 (including painted neck). It looked awesome and was one of the best sounding basses I have had, but it was so finnicky and susceptible to weather changes more than my other basses- I ended up selling it.
I do love an all white bass!
And of course love your Stingrays

OK! Sparkle #2 for you. Beautiful. Never have owned a white bass, just not quite for me, but I have been tempted a few times, an Alembic white spoiler. Congrats.
Yes.

I love white on white axes, and yours is a great combination of glam and elegance.
Bravo.
. . . from the man that once owned all three versions of Yamaha's BB5000, all three in white/gold. . . . I know 'bout that white axes thang!
NBD thread with a prelude. CONGRATS.
I do not like white/white basses. I like them yellowed by acrid ciggy smoke

I still stand by my statement that, with you as the owner, that bass almost demands a leopard print strap. However, I have to agree that the one you chose for it is equally perfect.
Beautiful!
