I think it's an EB-3. Her outfit nearly matches the dark cherry of the bass, making the body look bigger. Appears to be solid.

Yes, hard for me to tell with only fleeting glimpses. Many (but not all cough cough Mothman cough cough) non-FSOs are appealing to me.
The backing band was called The Enchanted Forest. They toured with Tiny Tim. The performance in the video was The Ed Sullivan Show.
I can't see it well but the bass might be an EB-O or EB-3, can't see the knobs. It sounded good in the clip.

.... these Gibson Les Paul Jr. Tribute basses come in the "worn cherry" finish. Though I'm partial to the blue, the cherry would be classic. And classy. Not seen much written about it here at TB. Funny position for a Gibson humbucker, looks like the P position. Definitely not the Stingray position. Definitely can find a used SG bass for the same coin as the LP Jr bass.
There are some moments where you can see the bridge pickup, so - EB-3.
Thanks for that. I couldn't recognize the amp at all. Sounded good though. It looked like the performance was live, at least the vocals for sure.

The only Gibson I've ever owned was a '62 series II (1 pickup) Thunderbird with a pre-fractured headstock.

I can tell you firsthand that when Heritage took over the Kalamazoo tooling the PFH was part of the deal.
No she's not! The EB2 was a semi acoustic bass with a single pickup and two F holes. I used to own one. The horns identify it as EB0 single pickup or EB3 two pickups. My second bass was an EB0F, F denoting built in fuzz unit.

Same as Fiat licensing the patent for rust to Volkswagen.

Pre-fractured headstock, slightly upthread.
That, and Fender Shaped Object are things learned here at GOFs.

Or Lucas licensing darkness to a whole lot of people, with a kickback from roadside assistance providers to boot.

MGB owners I know developed a special vocabulary about their cars, as did Alfa owners.
(What would be really interesting to me here in this place we call 2020 is a modern - maybe BMW built - MGB GT.)

I just started a tread bemoaning our loss.
I don't know how many GOF's are Rush fans but they were my heroes when I was growing up. My style derived from Geddy Lee, Jack Bruce, and Jack Casady from Jefferson Airplane. 
Eventually I became more of a ZZ Top style bass player because during all of the 80's when I toured the dance music required more of a basic bass. But on jam night I never hesitated to do a Rush song!
