My Epiphone EB-3 Bass stands packed in a box beside the table in the hotel room. I'll take it back home tomorrow and will give it a try. I'm sure I'll like it after all of your comments

I'm back home with my new Epi EB-3 Limited Edition Short Scale Bass. It looks great. Well made, very convenient to play and has a great versatile tone. As it's short scale it has no neck diving problem. Overall it's a very good bass for the money. I just love playing it. Attached please find a couple of pics. Hope you'll enjoy them.

your pics cannot be seen now but i saw them earlier. you have a short neck on your epiphone bass? how many total frets? i have the long neck eb3 but it is now my main bass and use it on everything i do now. same as my epi-sg guitar.

This is the 1960's Limited Edition Custom Shop Bass. It has 30.5" short neck and a thumb-rest as the original Gibson EB-3 in 60's. But this Epi has 22 frets which differs from original Gibson neck having only 20 frets.
I've uploaded pics to a different site. Hope you can see them again now. Enjoy!

Surface scratches on pick guards can frequently be polished out using a very mild rubbing compound.

If you cannot find any rubbing/polishing compounds locally, try Stewart-McDonald online.

They carry everything for building and/or repairing guitars and other strung instruments.

wow what great news, for me. i saw some loose plastic on my guitars pickguard, i thought i took all that off, i didnt, so when i did, gone were the scratches, what a freakin break. here i thought i really fucked it up while brand new and i didn't. thank god!

sanifi4u - how do you measure your neck from top of machine head to bottom of neck? in that case mine is 33 in. from first fret to last fret is 25 1/4 in.

i like thumb rests but i refuse to put a hole in my bass. it's too perty!

Scale length is measured from the nut to the middle of the bridge (the maximum vibrating length of the string). My 1962 Gibson EB-0 is 30.5" which is considered short scale. The long scale EB-0L had a scale length of 34.5".
