Thumbs up Woods.....
Based on the pics, the top, back and peg-head-face looks like bubinga to me, Al.

When I ordered my 5GN fretless back in '01, I talked with Ken in length about wood choice for my fretless-to-be. The decision: Bubinga top and back (peg-head-face also), Tiger Maple Core with a thick slab of ebony for the FB. Not only is that a great wood choice; let me just add, my '01 5GN fretless is the best sounding fretless I have EVER heard or played.
