Hi Craig,
Our records indicate that this is a Black S500, completion date is May 16, 1986, ebony fretboard

While the photos of this S-500 are not definitive for me, there are several instances of Rosewood Boards on instruments before it was officially listed as an option on the pricelist.
I submit for review B007520, neck date December 11, 1981. I am convinced that the body on this bass is maple, which is another off-list option.
I own another late '81 bass with rosewood, along with several ebony and maple boards.
