I bought a Fender Precision (Fretless) bass early in the 80's (Serial number S884170).

I just want to know what the fingerboard is made of. Maple? I've searched the internet, but cannot find a place with precise information.

Thanks in advance!

If the fingerboard for all intents and purposes is the same color as the neck, it is maple. If the fingerboard is significantly darker than the neck, it is rosewood.

It's significally darker than the neck (fingerboard is dark brown), so it's rosewood then. Thanks!
