A more subtle metallic, but in person, less subtle than my phone camera captures. But much love for the sparkle

Amethyst jewel, accented with pearls and gold .
I can do 1 for full points. I would argue gold/gold should be 3/4 points and some for 1/2, but I like the sparkle games.
That looks like its about the same shade as my Lakland. Was that finish by Modulus or refinished by someone else?
Factory Modulus blue flake. The really early ones are lighter turquoise almost. They changed it to a shade darker under new ownership and I absolutely love it!
My Lakland started as a loaded body I bought on here was finished in trans red over ash. I shipped it off to Marty Bell to refinish in "gunmetal blue" flake and commissioned Lakland to make a new neck for it.
It doesn’t have a pearl pickguard (though I might have a custom one cut), but it is very much metallic flake:

Green you say?
I have a pearloid Jazz guard in hand and a squier Jazz neck with pearl inlays coming next week once I get this bass set up. I’ll also take a better angle pic too

Thanks man. I got a thing for it. I've got normal stuff too but flake is, well...flake!
Here are the 4 identical MIM P's I gigged for a couple years. I know the gold/holo-flake isn't wearing a pearl pickguard, but I didnt want to break up the set.
Here's my ice-blue flake refin MIJ Jazz. I picked this piece up several years ago from a shop in Poland. Again, not wearing pearl, but I consider this to be my most beautiful bass.
Finally, here is my USA Geddy Jazz refinned by MJT in a black flake over CAR sunburst and reliced with finish checking.

I have a Tony Franklin P fretless in Lake Placid blue with a black pearloid pickguard (stock photo) and a Squier Jazz in ocean blue metallic with a red tort pickguard added.
G&L really needs to have this pickguard as a stock option. Looks sensational
Those are great! But I gotta say the ice blue Jazz gives me wiggly pants.
I've got a couple relevant to share but not quite as described. For my seafoam sparkle, I did think about getting an aged white pearl but went with black pearl instead:
And pink champagne sparkle:

Pretty sure a TB member bought that bass and immediately refinished it with a plain black finsh
