I just wanted to say that this month's featured custom has got to be one of the prettiest works of Alembic art that I have seen in a while.  While all Alembic Basses are stunning (and the Featured Customs even more so), this one is spectacular.  
 
Great Job!!!  
 
Congratulations Yahya!

I'm fullheartly joining brother Rami!

I must admit that the inlaid fret lines only on the side of the neck is an ingenious solution !
 
I'm not fearless enough for a 'bald' fretless, but with this feature, I could try it. Bravo !

Hi Joey,
 
I was originally referring to this month's feature.  They used mandolin frets.  They're very thin and can almost sound like fretless with the right touch.
 
I think this might be what you were referring to:

This is the only featured custom that I've seen with fretlines on the side of the fingerboard.

i like the shape of this newest one. i think dragon magic might be my all-time favorite however [i'm a guitar player].
