Those inlays have some depth to them and a little bit of texture (figuring I guess you could say).godber wrote:The description says it's a refin and also says that the fretboard was stripped when it was refret and the inlays are the type used by Rickenbacker on many basses at the time - just a quick check of the register will give confirmation. What's the mystery here?

The tuners are modern Rick replacements clearly; as to the inlays, I'll bow to your greater knowledge.
