Very nice! :) Is that an ebony fretboard or rosewood? Looks a bit dark to be rosewood, but I'm a sucker for a dark rosewood board if it is.

Nah, Relic-ing was done by MJTele - I was never a huge fan of relics but thought i'd give one a go.

It's a rosewood board,the pics maybe make it look a bit dark than it is but it is pretty dark!

Just an MIJ Fender body, Warmoth lined fretless neck, all the correct 60s style hardware and epoxied board. Seymour Duncan Antiquity II pickups. Sounds like a beast.

Looks awesome! How do you find the epoxied board? I haven't done it with this bass but have been tossing up as to if it's worth while doing.

Well the epoxy does give it that sort of singing quality of Jaco's tone. It's totally worth it.
