It looks like it's all maple.
There are slight differences in resonance between spaulted, figured and normal grained maple and by using different panel configurations one can customize the attributes of the instrument. Sometimes luthiers even build the entire instrument out of one grain and then add a veneer top to further change resonance.
I think that particular tone qualities are the reason here.
Any clue as to who originally made this bass?
