Thank you guys. 

[Grog]

Awesome!!! Well documented!!

[Dave W]

Super work, Rob! I remember when you bought this bass but had no idea how many changes had been made to the original. You did a great job.

This turned out fantastic, great work! Do you plan to put it up for sale?

Eventually, yes I think I will.

My earlier post wasn't very much on target...sorry for that.

I didn't vote in the poll because I know little about Gibsons and my opinion on this one would be without value.

It looks beautiful now!  Congrats on doing lovely work.

If you want to determine a value, I'd say that either a Gruhn valuation (which would be the best choice) or setting up an auction with a very hefty reserve would work.  Perhaps you should do both, in that order.

Rob, what does this thing weigh?  Sorry if you've mentioned it already.

3.9 kg

3.9 kg

That's way lighter than I was expecting!

[Basvarken]

It's not that surprising:
The body is much thinner and much smaller than the later production model. Plus the routing underneath the pickguard is a true "swimming pool".

That bass, Rob my friend, can not be considered as being nothing but a true beauty! Like a Gina Lollobrigida in company of a dozen..... Diana Palmers! (Fiance of The Phantom). Do you remember Diana? (Paul Anka did!)    Happy evening!

[Basvarken]

Never heard of her. Looking at that video I think she must be older than my mother... 
I do know Gina Lollobrigida (who died at an age 10 years older than my mother is now)
