It's not remotely legal but it's all but practically impossible to stop.

Wonderdog (our legal beagle) has been notified.

Good! Sic 'em, Wonderdog! I hope I did some good here. I was messing around on the internet looking to see if anyone made ALL carbon-fiber basses and I stumbled on this alibaba.com site. There are a TON of imitation/forgery high-end instruments on here. Tell your pals at Fender, Rickenbacker, and Gibson too! I mean, it's one thing to make a lo-cost imitation, but it's quite another to put the brand name of the real one on the headstock!

looking to see if anyone made ALL carbon-fiber
basses ...........

The Moses Graphite VJB is ALL carbon fibre. I've
got one. Very comfy neck and hang balance. Ms
Diva digs it cuz she's the star and the bass isn't.

Tone is clean, kinda nothing specal, but offering
the whole range, good bottom and mids. I can't
say much about high treble bite since mine is FL.

The FL FB is DiamondWood. Very hard synthetic.
More impervious to RW than just about anything.
Some kinda sooper hard epoxy-wood fibre blend.

Kinda like a session bass ... useful, versatile tone
but no "special personality". Appearance is oddly
utilitarian, to put it charitably Think "Berger".

Edit: Ooopzez ... I fergot Status. They make at
least one, mebbe more, all-graphite model ... one
is called the "Streamliner" IIRC and also IIRC lives
near the low end of their price range
