Ahhhh!!! The bass that started my love affair with all things Ernie Ball Stingray Special and Sparkles. I just might have to pick up another one in this finish.

Anyway. Here is my current collection of Sparkles .

Starry Night Short Scale.

Crescendo BFR Stingray Special 5HH

Amethyst Sparkle Stingray Special 5

Hey I have not seen this thread before. I want to play too:

I have others, but they don't pop as much on pictures as these do.

I played one of those sea foam sparkle GC exclusive models . It was so hard to walk away and leave the store without it.

I know what you mean. I was actually there checking out a Schecter C4 GT when I spotted the Seafoam Sparkle hanging on the wall. I had to try it out and then left, but couldn't get it out of my head. It took maybe two days before I went back for it. So glad I did.

What else you got? Let’s see them.

I have a few more, but the sparkles are not as heavy as with the Rays. I don't have any on me right now as I am at work, but when I get a chance tomorrow I'll post a few more.

Thanks! It's listed as Autumn Red Burst when I run the serial number. Have never seen another one like it.

As promised yesterday here are some more pics of my sparkle basses, although these are not going to be as sparkle heavy as the Rays posted earlier, they still are sparkles though:

2000 ESP/LTD F-204. This was my number 1 for about 20 years and now it just makes special appearances here and there. It's getting a very well deserved break. It may look metal, but those EMG's and preamp sound beautiful, much nicer than the new F-204's. Depending on lighting or surroundings it can look silver or green and it is still in the exact same condition as when I bought it brand new in 2000.

Here is a Squier 40th Anniversary Gold Edition Jazz. The color is darker than how it appears on the 1st picture:

And the @B-Mac approved Dean Edge 3's:
