I'm not aware of an "Exhibition" or 5A grade of Bubinga. While Bubinga can have a nice figure (some nicer than others), it is a heavier but also great sounding tone-wood.
Tim,

Sorry, now I see that it's completely different from Bubinga . Since I live in Brazil, I'm not familiar with this wood. It's a very beautiful bass indeed! Congrats.

Thanks,
Jose
