<div class="bbWrapper">There was an auction for a F*nd*r J bass with that kind of neck a while ago. I popped by a F*nd*r forum and asked about it (To ask about the fretboard, nothing else! Please, no demerits!). It's cool, but it turns out it's not worth the hassle. ...And at ~500 pounds sterling (~$1K US), I agree!</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I can't imagine setting the intonation on that thing, or how you can have it "close enough" up and down the fretboard with a magnetic fretboard.<br />
<br />
But, I also imagine "How are we going to keep the intonation with a magnetic fretboard even remotely accurate?" would have to be the first question anwsered when designing such a system. So, who knows?<br />
<br />
Could be cool if you lived in such a way that you could only have one bass. <b>Nomadic Motorcyclist </b> springs to mind, but I don't know if there is enough money in it to afford a $1000 aftermarket neck.<br />

I must admit I seriously doubt that it works well .. I agree with the earlier comments <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool :cool:" data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> <br />

First thing that comes to mind, of course:<br />
