Hi Scott,
 
Here's what I found in the file for your bass:
 
SSB
 
top and back: Schedua
body core: Mahogany
neck: Maple, Beech, Purpleheart
fingerboard: Ebony with mother of pearl inlays
originally made for: Rothchild
birthday: August 4, 1977
 
The bass was repaired in 1978 under warranty. The frets were dressed, it received a new string nut, and the bass filter knob was replaced.  
 
There was a more major servicing in 1982. The bass got new truss rods, fingerboard, bridge saddles, string nut, humcanceller, strings, setup, and 1-1/2 hours of refinishing labor.  
 
Both times the bass was serviced it was owned by the same person.
