Indeed very rare and fantastic condition
Checking carefully I realized: thumb rest missing, should have Bridge muter, is also missing. Rest seems original. Picture of the electronics would be good.
Price for US buyers is also good.
You don’t see them often.

I also wonder if the tuners are original, on my 1969 EB-0 they look like this

YES, the 'G' marked Schallers are indeed original. If they weren't, there would be 16 holes, or doweled holes where the original Klusons like your bass has, left when removed. Gibson, used both Kluson short shaft open tuners, and small Schaller M4's on a lot of basses.

Interesting. Never seen an EB0 with Schallers before from that era.
