My Goblin flake with pearl blocked and pearl bound neck.
Ok, I'll play, with 3 disclaimers:
1) No pickguard, but plenty of sparkles
2) It isn't in my grubby little hands yet, currently in transit, (should be here tomorrow, but I am having them hold for pickup for security), and
3) Seller's pics

Pretty sure a TB member bought that bass and immediately refinished it with a plain black finsh
That he did, but I’ve got a project in the works that will soon restore order to the universe…
That is the most interesting bass I’ve seen in a long time. I can’t look away. It has the vibe of a painting from Picasso’s cubism period. I totally dig it.
No pearl in this pickguard, just pure silver ground up into flake. It goes perfectly with the 3 color Marty Bell paint job. This bass is requested and expected at every gig.
I don't own any sparkle paint jobs but like the looks of them. The reds are especially cool! 
Very cool stuff!

Lots of these basses are really beautiful, especially those with a matching headstock.
here's mine. turns out it's tough to photo the sparkle.
The neck and headstock sparkle too, so i included them.

Great thread - I love these finishes.
I have this 2011 MIM Fender P body which came in something called pearl sparkle and it's kinda cool.
I have three different D'Andrea pick guards that I change out on occasion to freshen up the look of the bass. It's a great (cheap) way to change this around. I have green pearl, red sparkle and gold sparkle pick guards. I like how they all look although the green is pretty cool and the gold really pops as the wood of my neck is golden colored. Here's a few shots (really looks great under lights).

I think you're right...
Well, I like black instruments too, but that’s a hard-off
