I love the epoxy/CA look on fretless boards. Very nice work. I really dig that carbon fiber top.

Beautiful finish. I'd be scared to get fingerprints all over them while playing

They both look great [clap] .
How about a few words on applying and finishing the carbon fiber? Or is that a trade secret?

They sure pose well for their close-ups, don't they? Two very fine looking instruments. In particular, the sleek simplicity of that fretless bass is just beautiful. As several others have said, these are elegant. I think the bass almost takes "elegant" to a new level!

No secrets here. First I applyed epoxy on the body and let it set for a while. When epoxy still sticky,applying carbon fiber to the body and then applyed another coat of epoxy.Then let it dry and level sand . Applie more epoxy if needed untill surface is level. Then bursted with black paint and poly laqcuer over it.
Sorry for bad english.
Thank you for kind words again

Yes they are GHS black plastic coated strings for fretless basses
