Beautiful looking bass!  
 
Based on the picture, I'd say it's quilted maple, with a mahogany body.  Neck is maple with purpleheart, Signature electronics (V/P/F/F) with the two Q switches and an LED on/off switch.  
Beautiful piece of quilted maple there!!  
 
06 indicates it was built in 2006

Interesting location of the strap button on the inside of the upper horn. Is this the only one or has the original been moved from the back of the neck post build?

Aha, you saw the location of the strap button. The previous owner put it there for some reason.  
It is now back in it\s original position. And the bass feel more comfortable to play, with the the button in it?s right place.
