What did I buy?

So I bought a guitar body off of ebay and I am not exactly sure what it is.
The seller listed the body as an SG style 6 string guitar. After receiving the body and getting to inspect it first hand I am doubting it was a 6 string. I was thinking perhaps an EB-0 bass but any help would be great. Attached are some photos.

Bolt on neck... Single PUP... Hmmm. Either a cheap copy of an SG Junior or... Dunno! Maybe SG Lou could chime in here???

Some more info. The pickup cavity is a very tight fit for a humbucker. The mounting holes for bridge are too wide for a tune o matic bridge but the spacing is about right for the tailpiece. At first I thought it was an SG Junior knock off but I haven't seen one with a neck pickup (doesn't mean some didn't, I just haven't seen one.) The ones I have seen had a bridge pickup only. As can be seen in photo 3, there is 5 small holes in between the bridge mounting holes. Also the control cavity on the rear of the body is not like a typical SG. It is about an inch or so wide by about 6 inches long.

Looks like one of those Japanese EB-0 copies from the '70s

Yes, bolt-on neck Gibson bass fake body - why else would it have one NECK pickup route?

So EB-0 fake from the 70's made in Japan?

Yep, defintely an EB0 - the bridge holes suggest it's gotta be at least 30'' scale...

 

[redtail58554]

Does any one know of a way to determine the scale without the neck?

My bet is that it is a short-scale bass as were most EB copies.
