Can anyone tell me what the fretboard and the top wood is on this. Thanks, Dale 3rd_ray Intermediate Member Username: 3rd_ray Post Number: 146 Registered: 2-2008 Posted on Tuesday, December 09, 2008 - 6:07 am:    I would guess schedua for the top wood. I don't know about the fingerboard, maybe rosewood? Nice bass! Edit: Acacia fingerboard?

You can ask Mica to use the serial # to perform a search to find out. Can we get more pics? dddavison Junior Username: dddavison Post Number: 11 Registered: 12-2007 Posted on Tuesday, December 09, 2008 - 10:16 am:    Here is a closeup of the body and the fretboard is visible also.

The last pic of 77-696 in the thread he referenced looks similar and the years are the same. I keep thinking Purpleheart, but my poor memory can't recall a Purpleheart fingerboard from that period.
