Wow... 1 1/2 at the nut and short scale.  I bet you can motor scooter around on that thing.  I have a '77 SI long scale point body.  It was overhauled about 3 years ago and it looks brand new.  I'd love to have a short scale Series instrument (my Signature SC is my favorite noodling bass).

Cool bass.  That neck looks like it has purpleheart in it and not ebony.  The outer dark stripes on either side of the neck through the body look like vermillion.
 
You did good.  My favorite body style.

Nice catch.  Mica confirmed PH.  She thought the dark outside wood probably was walnut, but you may have that right too.  The middle is beech.
 
Will post when I get it.

That fretboard looks like Rosewood...? maybe just the lighting in the picture, but it certainly looks lighter/redder than ebony.
 
Beautiful bass- I hope to own an older Series I some day.  You snagged a beauty.

Congrats!!
