It's kind of cool, weed sticker and all. But just what is it? And that pickup???

I'm guessing its just a '66-'67 EB-0, and someone just sprayed the hardware and pickup cover black
The flaked-out violet/midnight blue is kinda cool
I did mine in metal-flake as a temp measure until I can afford a gold plate job...

I´d guess pre 1965 : old neck joint (!) , wide neck and the old bridge with the thin ´forks´.

Ah - you're right. Didn't notice the neck joint. The "centered" crown inlay threw me off...
The crown can be difficult to make judgements by, although It´s usually centered or high.
My ´63 EBOF has a high crown, and my ´65 EB-3 have it placed in the middle like both my 1967 EB´s.
I´m inlaying a 1966 SG melody maker these days, I´m completing a ´standard´conversion with a normal headstock.
I took my caliper and measured my three high crown basses, just to compare.
Just to find that none of them was in the same place :) I ended up just throwing it in where it looked right, like Gibson probably did too!
Maineiacs. This is what happens when you live in a place where bears outnumber people.
Could be a '60 - '61 pu cover and/or pu if it was originally black and not painted.
That doesn't look like one of the black covers. They had ridged edges.
This could be powder coating.

For what we know, the owner might have been familiar with powder too :)
The decal certainly plants a seed of doubt.
I hear these basses are now legal in Colorado and Washington.
