Hi Paul,
 
Here's the details I found in the file for your new-to-you bass:
 
top: Coco Bolo
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple and Purpleheart, 32 medium scale, Lefty!
fingerboard: Ebony, with oval inlays (probably pearloid)
peghead veneers: Coco Bolo
finish: not recorded, probably gloss, but can't say for sure.  
Originally made for: Steve's Quality Instrument, MA
birthday: May 2, 1986
 
Original owner was in MA, then it travelled to UT. No record of any repairs.
