Gold Sparkle
Burnt Apple
White Sparkle
Gremlin Green Sparkle
Glacier Blue Sparkle
Black Sparkle
Blue Dawn
Autum Redrise
Silver Sparkle

From what I understand BP has a Gremlin Green Sparkle Albert Lee, though I've never seen any pictures of it. I'd like too see some pictures.

Gold Sparkle seems to be the most rare, if you want to use that term. Sweet color though.

That's an ebay term

GW, those are great pics. I will add some of those later in the week. Does he have a pic of just the Gold sparkle anywhere?

This is from that same site. No idea who the kid is...

Nice job smallequestrian. I'm honored to have you use some pics of my Copperhead Bronze SR5. This was a really good idea because EBMM has produced some of the most interesting and original colors of any other instrument manufacturer out there.

I also wanted to clarify something in regards to the Copperhead Bronze finish. You have it listed as a solid color which is fine, but I would actually call it a metallic finish. The sparkles aren't as big and defined as the "sparkle" colors, but it does have a metallic sparkle to it similar to many automotive finishes.

Wow, I wish that was a collection of basses that I owned.

I guess I could make the distinguishment(is that a word?). The problem is that a lot of the solid finishes have a "spakleness" to them, like Metal flake Green, Medallion Gold, Lavender Pearl (all of which I own or have owned). And then there are other finishes that you could say have sparkle in them, but I wouldn't consider metallic though. Its a fine line and maybe not a necessary one to make. I'll look into it, but it may not be a high priority for right now.

Nice job.

Need an edit:
Burnt Apple is a Sparkle Color but
it's listed under Trans Finishes.

[GWDavis28]

Here's a listing of all the sparkle finishes that were offered for the Axis Sport (Discontinued model).
