Is it my imagination or is this really cheap?

Not in original condition. It's missing some parts and has had others replaced.

Also there's no close-up photo of the back of the neck/headstock which is the usual place for serious damage on a Gibson bass.

I would also want to know where the battery for the active EMG is - possibly some routing under the pick guard?

Yeah good point. There was a tone choke in a cavity under the bridge. I suspect that has gone, and so that's where the battery is. Not a great place if you need to change the battery in a hurry, but at least it wouldn't involve making holes.

This isn't a great price when you consider how much is missing/damaged, and even worse if theres a hole.
