While all Alembic Basses are stunning (and the Featured Customs even more so), this one is spectacular. Great Job!!! Congratulations Yahya!

I'm not fearless enough for a 'bald' fretless, but with this feature, I could try it. Bravo !

They used mandolin frets. They're very thin and can almost sound like fretless with the right touch. I think this might be what you were referring to: http://alembic.com/info/FC_tiger.html This is the only featured custom that I've seen with fretlines on the side of the fingerboard.
