Functionless Art is Merely Tolerated Vandalism
I am guessing that is your kitchen table, no? Pop the cover open and the pot values will be on the pots. As far as wood goes, my guess is ash but I am not good with wood.
I'm guessing ash as well. I like these Bass Collection and Tune Bass Maniac models very very much indeed. 
can't tell if the knobs are original, but the pots are inside. get a clearer shot of the knobs and I'll try to compare them against my BCs and Tunes.
Actually that's wrong.. Sorry, but that's not my kitchen table.. As far from the bass.. Yes I thinks ash, or japonese ash or swap ash.. (said by people who earn other Bass Collection's, but I don't know.. The pots, I know where there are, obviously.. But I already talk with a luthier and he said me that was not instruments pots, and not the original pots from the bass

E-mail the manufacturer and ask what pots they use. 95% chance they are 250k or 500k. How did the luthier know the pots were not the originals? He must be familiar with the original electronics to make that call.
The manufacter no longer existes, say the internet..
Because the luthier is luthier for many years and he had many Bass Collection's is hands.. He suspects that is 250k, but he can't confirm

The manufacturer was acquired, they are still in business. While the parent company has changed, they may be able to provide some info on the bass.

What, do you want me to make an ill-informed guess as to what kind of wood it is or tell you to open it and look at the pots again? Since when is a compliment spam?
Could be ash maybe, maybe it's paulownia.

I'll measure the pots in mine when I get a chance, though there is no guarantee yours would be the same, might be different models / years.

Not to gess.. Just is you got one similar, same brand, or same model, something like that, for a gess I search on the internet. And the pots, I tell you again: my bass don't have the original pots. One of the former owners changed them and put on it pots that don't even from a musical instrument were, that's why I can't can't tell you the real power.
As diabolus said, "Pop the cover open and the pot values will be on the pots", it shouldn't matter if they were replaced or not because most pots have the value stamped on, unless they've been soldered over you should be able to see them. As for the wood it looks like it could be ash, but based on the price of those instruments I figured it may be the more affordable paulownia which has ash qualities. However; after doing a little research it appears they are possibly made of Sen, a.k.a. "Sen Ash" or "Japanese Ash", I don't believe Sen is a true ash wood though, and there is another wood known as "Japanese Ash" called Tamo.
Edit: I see now that you are asking what the original pot values were because they have been replaced. Are you certain the pots themselves have been replaced and not just the knobs? Still, open it up and check the pots, see what the values are and proceed accordingly.

Does the control cavity still look like this ?
If not the preamp is gone
This link to a thread over on Basschat will give you some background to SGC and Bass Collection in general.
Hope you get it fixed up,they are great basses. After years of use mine still going strong.

That's what I was thinking, if it's active it shouldn't have just regular pots in the first place.Does the control cavity still look like this ?

Guys, here is the control cavity.
This are NOT the original pots.. 100k pots?????
PS: the corks are not original, obviously.. That were put in the control cavity to prevent the pots from 'fall of' because the pots weren't even from a music instrument, that means the tip of the pots (the part inside de knobs) were cut of!
