At the very least the tuners and pickguard have been replaced.  I'm guessing broken neck and repaint.

Yeah, I was thinking there's no way something hasn't happened to this bass for it to be that price.

I'm always skeptical of any instrument listed like that, with only a single front body shot.  It really tells nothing of the instrument itself.

That's typical of GC. You have to ask a lot of questions and hope you get someone who, can give you accurate answers.

Hasn't this one been on eBay before some years ago?  Either way, I'd bet it's had lots of work.

"Gibson's greatest success in the electric bass market came in 1963 with the introduction of the Thunderbird."

Uhum, which is why they deleted both the Rev and the Non Rev after a few years.

There are more TBirds around being played today (both old and new) than ever in the history of mankind. To be fair: Gibson has a track record of being ahead of the market with its models first time around and finding success only upon rerelease, see Les Paul, Flying V and Explorer guitars.
