Tim, Honestly I'm really not sure, I would have to ask Ken himself on that one. Ken could you help me out here?

Core?
If you're asking the Core question it looks dark like Walnut. Probably Peruvian Walnut we used back then but some better side shots close-up would help me better.

Could that be a Bubinga Lam?

Yes, get a shot with the body angled such that you can see the lams clearly.

And the Core is.......drum roll.........cymbal crash!
Quote:
Based on the photo's, that would be a dark Walnut Core. Also based on the photo's, I would say Mahogany Lams. Due to the darkness of the photo's, there's an outside chance the Lams could be Maple but slightly yellowed with age? I'll stick with Mahogany Lams.

I tend to think walnut as well. It's just so dark, and I know Ken doesn't use Ebony for core stock..
It's even quite dark for walnut. It'll be interesting to see what Ken's take is on it. While we're on the topic; Ken, do you have files on every bass you've made by serial number that details original owner, woods used, style, etc?

Core:
I can see the color in the Pics but not the grain. If the grain is open similar to mahogany then I would say it's 'Peruvian Walnut' which we used back when that Bass was made.
