Here is my Series I 77-878. Can anyone tell me what the fretboard and the top wood is on this.
Thanks,

I would guess schedua for the top wood. I don't know about the fingerboard, maybe rosewood?  
 
Nice bass!
 
Edit: Acacia fingerboard?

Is that flamed Koa for the top with a Rosewood fingerboard?
 
You can ask Mica to use the serial # to perform a search to find out.
 
Can we get more pics?

Here is a closeup of the body and the fretboard is visible also.

Mike's guess of Acacia might be it.  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.
