And that one was short scale too!

I figured I needed a "backup" short scale :-)  Well, at least that's how I justified it to myself.

By the way, I came across this bass while browsing the database at http://j-guitar.com/ - there are some nice used Gibbys and Gibby clones listed there.

The Greco EB-2'ho arrived today.  Apart from some surface scratches on the pickguard (damn pick players!) this 22yo beauty is dead mint!

Damn pick players? Says one of those grubby finger players that always wear away the fin deep into the wood just above the pup with their sweaty little thumbs.  :-*

Congrats on the bass!

Oh, and by the way, I'm an idiot.  All along I thought this was short scale because it's an EB-2/Rivoli, but I was playing it just now and realised it's long scale!  Bonus!

That really looks good!  Lucky you that it's a long scale.  I've been keeping an eye out to find a trashed Epi dot that I could experiment with turning into a long scale EB2.  How does the bass balance?

She balances fine, the body is heavier than I expected.  Much heavier than the EB-2 I used to own.

Hey, wait a minute. Your justification was having a backup short scale. Now you'll have to sell it to one of us at a reduced price, otherwise your conscience will bother you.
