You're making me dizzy...

Maple with Bubinga center and the thin dark wood might be bubinga or even purpleheart or even shedua. I can't tell from these pictures, sorry.

Hi David,

To me it looks like a BMT6 Elite Cocobolo top.
The serial number can tell you more.

Best regards

No, sorry. If you look at the pic blown up (+) you will see how tight the grain is. Plus, it's a flat looking wood without much depth. This Bass is Macassar Ebony top, not Cocobolo. If Cocobolo, it would have more of a grainy open pore appearance with a little more sizzle to it looking straight on. Also, it would be mainly reddish in tinge with black and brown mixed in the colors.
