Maybe I haven’t been paying attention, but I don’t think I’ve seen narra wood before?

It's related to Vermilion/Padouk. There are a handful of Narra-topped basses sequenced around this time. It can be very attractive wood, or kinda' unremarkable, but my biases seem to change once it is carved into an Alembic Series I.  :)

Haven't seen it on an Alembic before, but I saw a G.Gould bass with a red narra top that was outstanding.
