Good point. I never actually considered that.
I've looked at both the Olly White one and the Seafoam Green one, and after a bit more studying, I've discovered I don't like those fingerboards. I know 'rosewood' covers many species but those 'boards look like Laurel. I don't think I've seen a rosewood so light on a Fender bass. I guess I could use some Monty's Wax to darken it but on a £2K reissue instrument I'd expect the 'board to look more period correct.
