Good advice!! Now, we should all follow that next time we “mod” our basses. Guilty here!!LOL
Mine isn’t like that but I’ve seen photographs of ones that appear to be like that but I honestly think it’s the way they’ve been machine planed and have left slight uneven ridges that may appear to look like thin veneers lengthwise…?
(It now Turns out I was wrong about this @least RE: my own Glarry’s fretboard)

Except that *these* basses are meant to be modded. They have no collector or resale value to be compromised.
Ran across some competition for the Glarry. 
109 bucks. The Rogue LX200B Series III....
It also comes in a 205(5 string) and a 200BF(fretless).
But at twice the price, is it really that much better than a Glarry?
Twice the price, lol. Not like we're talking a 500 vs 1000 dollar bass here.
And they're even sold by Musician's Friend.
Guitar Center sells the "higher end" Invalid Link Removed vs the LX205, for $179.00
Might be worth it for my 1st 5 string to play around on without getting into a lot of money.
This guy makes the LX200 sound pretty friggin' good. A lot better than what I expected for 109 bucks anyway.

Mine is definitely individual strips of wood, the whole fretboard has the same parallel lines on it. That is the D string in shot (0.075") which puts the strips at about 0.03" wide by my guestimation.
I will admit that at first glance it does look like solid wood, it was only when I got a lot of light on it that I saw the individual strips.
(The colour is wrong as the photo was taken with a camera probe that is illuminated with LEDs.)
After looking at your photo I’ve taken the bass out into Bright sunlight (a rare commodity here in the UK!) And I have to say you are totally right!
I’m sorry I misinformed you but now I have to agree with you They’ve just used rosewood binding (or maybe tinted lighter wood?!) to build up a fretboard!
While this is all very commendable in the sense of dwindling natural resources, etc, it does mean that refretting these things will be a nightmare!
I think we are finally in the age of the disposable neck...
Well Spotted Delta7fred!
No doubt this will become a future trend :-(
It makes frets easier to push in, no doubt, as the tangs will slip easily between the fibres of the strips of wood but I feel sure, in the event of a re-fret, that pulling them out will splinter both sides of, what is affectively, endgrain
Before too hastily hopping on the woodstrip bandwagon I would look at the fingerboard from the butt end of the bass, at the endgrain. If the 'board is composed of stripwood the lines between the strips should be glaringly obvious.
You’d think so but on my Glarry the sanding is so rough it covers it
besides if I’d’ve jumped that wagon too hastily then I wouldn’t’ve had to take back my original conclusions!
(did I mention I was silly?)
Of course one of the things this whole forum post shows is that there’s many variations on this model -even down to the brand- so Y M M V

It also must be kept in mind that my sample is considerably different. I have had my basses going on something like two years; this thread is about contemporary instruments. A lot can change in two years.
I think you are less silly than you are Glaresy 'cross the Mersey.
