Script for rename many files

Hello friends!
I have a problem with my script. I'm a italian boy. Sorry for my english ehehehehehhe.

I've many files .jpg and I would like rename they in this mode:

I have not files with progressive number e I would like rename with progressive number. Example:

DSC_0012.JPG
DSC_0582.JPG
DSC_0001.JPG
DSC_0016.JPG
DSC_0092.JPG
.....etc.

rename in:
DSC_0001.JPG
DSC_0002.JPG
DSC_0003.JPG
DSC_0004.JPG
DSC_0005.JPG
.....etc.




This is my script but don't work correctly:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo Insert the number for start;
read n;

for i in `ls *.JPG`;

do mv $i DSC_0$n.JPG;
n=$(($n+1));
done

Thanks!
