No sparkle basses, but a sparkle guitar . . .

 

[ThaCoast]

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.

Gildaxe Gilaxis

That bass would look perfect with a Kustom tuck n roll cab in gold!

ACtually used to play that Bass with a Kustom bottom, but it wasnt Sparkle and it was black!

Also, if you look closely you'll see a rhinestone embedded in the headstock! Just absolute Balla!! This is a 64 P btw, so it doesn't come out much and more...
