I was looking at the spec on these recently. Apparently scale length for EB-3 is 34".

It is the EB-0 which is the short scale version with scale length of 30.5". However I couldn't see much difference between the two other than scale length. Perhaps you've got an EB-0?
Edit: EB-0 has dot markers while EB-3 has trapezoid

(I can't account for the measurement differences tho')
If the nut-12th fret length is really just 15", then either your intonation must be way off, or the action insanely high.
(Are you really absolutely sure you didn't just measure to the 11th fret? )

If the distance from the nut to the 12th fret is 15" and the distance from the nut to the bridge is 32", either there's something wrong with your tape measure or the bridge is in totally the wrong place, which would make the intonation "interesting" to say the least .
I would have to say that you will never get a P-Bass sound from an EB no matter what strings you put on it though - the pickups are totally different and in a completely different place. Great bass, just not a P...
