Looks good - did you do the relic-ing yourself? |

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.

Looks great. My fretless is a Jaco clone too.

 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. |
