Price NOK 45,000.00 Norwegian Kroner
4 string bass guitar with one pickup is almost certainly a DiMarzio Model Onepickup (not original), but the original pickup (Sidewinder humbucking pickup) is included. Original Gibson hard case included.
Sunburst, 1-layer white binding, laminated front and back, fingerboard Brasilian rosewood with white dots, same body form as a (Gibson guitar) ES-335. Kluson tuners.
Neck is 1 piece of Honduras mahogany, with a truss rod.
Finger rest of black plastic, with 3-layers of black and white binding. Number of frets 20.

This guitar was built by Gibson in Kalamazoo in 1964 and looks (for its age) very well. On the back there is an area of 3 ½ x 2 ½ cm., caused by a belt buckle, on the front there are some insignificant marks.

Suggest local pickup in Bergen, Norway. There is a direct car ferry from Hirtshals (Denmark) and the are many non-stop flights available!
See: Bergen Airport - Avinor
NB. Fixed price and no exchange!

I played an EB-2 for years, both de-fretted with epoxy -- hey, it was the 70s! -- and re-fretted.
For the past few years I've been using the Epiphone Jack Casady bass, which owes a lot to the EB-2.
GLWS!

For what it's worth:
That pickup is almost certainly the DiMarzio Model One.
On your bass the volume pot and the "baritone" choke-coil switch are in each others' original holes.

I had one in sparkling burgundy in my rock band years ago. It was stunning and a joy to play.
