I got this from a friend of mine in the Bay Area.  Some previous owner pulled the frets out, and it plays beautifully and sounds even better.  I have been dreaming of a bass like this for about 15 years.  The icing on this cake is its appearance!  I can't wait to get to know her better!

Looks like a very nice quilt!  Maple body?

Yes (I think).  You'll have to excuse my ignorance about the wood.  All I really know about it is that it is beautiful, and it cost me a few bucks more because of that fact.  She plays and sounds like a dream!

The file is MIA at the moment, but from the photo, I can take these educated guesses:
 
top: Quilted Maple
body: Maple
through body neck: 3-piece Maple, 34 long scale
fingerboard: Ebony
