They are pretty.
But you could get one every bit as good from Rod at RGW for half the price.

Nice links.
Browsing the Lakland site I noticed you can have ebony fingerboards on the fretted US basses. I thought this was just for fretless basses.
I haven't heard of this before..

Anyone who have tried both knows what difference there is? Just wondering..

Ebony has a similar tonal quality to maple in fingerboards, bright and focused. Gibson guitars often have fretted ebony fingerboards. The Odyssey bass I have has a fretted ebony fingerboard.
