I need help! Is my EB bass real or fake?

I bought this "Gibson" bass and I am very sure it is fake. I have never seen a Gibson bass constructed this way. Please take a look and if possible confirm or rule out the authenticity of this bass.

It is a short scale, and it has been refinished. Also the tuners have been replaced. I cant find a serial number anywhere, and also that black knob was added by the previous owner.

I dont know if this is an authentic gibson that was altered or if its just completely fake.

Please tell me what you think.

I'm not an EB expert at all, but I've never seen anything like it before. The bridge (or at least the tail-piece), bridge pickup, and controls are wrong. That's a very strange appendage on the back of the body.... [confused]

 

It is interesting though.
