The new Epiphone Blue Sparkle Bird. I can't seem to get a good shot of it though. It's actually very pretty and in certain light is a beautiful sapphire blue color, kind of like a Bombay Gin bottle...............I like the neck on these better than the previous Indonesian made version.

Congrats on the blinged out new bass. That'd go great on stage with a blue sparkle tuck and roll Kustom amp.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

It's purdy - just like its owner!  :-* :-* :-*

PS: Set neck or thru?

Away on band trip............

These are 9 ply neck thru, China production basses, it's really quite nice and the Blue is to my eye much more attractive than the purple, kinda glad I passed on that color. A good shot of the finish is not going to be easy, but in person it's quite beautiful.

That looks kinda purple-ish to my half-colorblind eyes, but it sure looks good. Have you already bought a matching dress? :D

It really is a beautiful sapphire blue, way better than the purple, which is sort of a more lavender base color, as these sort of finishes go my Jackson Bird is a little better for metalflake content, this one isn't far behind it. Black sequin dress required, I already own two :)
