Smart as a carrot (as we would say in London)

Why the acrylized ziricote?... I thought it was hard enough already for a fretboard just at it is.

The board was originally for a fretless and the acrylic does help with board wear but as this bass is going to be fretted it would have worked out fine without the acrylic.
It was the only ziracote board I had and should tie in really well with the rest of the bass.
