My New (To Me) Roscoe 5290

This is my second Roscoe, I traded the first one and I regret it anyway... I got this last week! I'm in love, the B string is killer (the best B string in the history of mankind) and it's a slap machine.
I need some help identifying the woods. The body looks like Ash (I'm not sure), the top is Flamed maple (with a thin veneer between the body and top) Maple neck and board. The pickups and preamp are Bartolini.

Here's my old one:



And the new family member!!!!
