I built my own - built it for my father, gave it to him recently. He's thrilled. Actual sparkle flakes spread across the green painted body & sealed in many coats of gloss clear afterwards.

What I should have done to my Grabber!!! <3

Man, I really dig that bass! I'm local, should you decide to give it a new home.

This one goes in the coffin with me! lol

Damn, I made that comment 10 years ago! I still stand by it, but it seems pretty clear you're hanging on to it and I completely respect that.

Hey @GregC, what about root beer sparkle?

Show your sparkles? I never tire of showing this beauty - around 8 lbs, standard production bass that is jaw dropping to play, hear and look at.

The aqua sparkle is a great colour! Different light, different look.

A recently purchased G&l JB, I think they do a great job on metal flake finishes.

Beautiful color . What does G&L call this shade of blue?

That looks great. The larger bodies on jazz basses give a lot of space for the sparkles to really shine.

They call it Turquiose metal flake. It was lighter(color wise) than I expected but I like it.

Dang. Just the red one makes me grin every time I see it. The two together is just BA.

Housekeeping bump...

Thread merges underway. Yes, we need more sparkly basses (said the guy who has one off white bass and two black ones )

I really need a sparkle bass especially red with gold flakes and gold hardware, J Bass style. Any ideas?
