What is the advantage of the acrylic impregnation for an (assumed) fretted fingerboard?

They are harder denser more stable than untreated wood but the big advantage for me is that I don't have to spray them to keep the maple clean. So if you don't like the feel of a lacquered finger board but would like a maple board this stuff does the job. |

If anyone reading is half-considering going for one of the basses, just do it. Looks, sound, playability and value are all off the scale.
