The serial number can tell you more.

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.
