Respect where respect is due, in both directions...
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

His response, and what we know about the Explorer he built that you bought, tells me this probably isn't a genuine Gibson even if he built it. Unless the seller has some hard evidence, I wouldn't count on it.

Yes, that bass has a big question mark looming over it for 5.000 bucks asking price. It might as well be a boutique creation with a Gibson headstock.
