I finally figured it out. Looking at the pics with a pickguard, the controls on the 72 are higher up on the body. The volume knob is even with the mounting screw for the bottom rout. On the standard they are closer to the bottom.

String spacing ruler. This way you get the different spacing correct from one side to the other. https://www.ebay.com/itm/String-Spacing-Rule-Guitar-Luthier-Tool/332815651247?hash=item4d7d5bd1af:g:WPQAAOSwzIZbpfhH

Hi all, it's been a while. I'm missing my P bass, so I'm on the hunt for parts. Can anyone tell me what the difference between a 72 P and a "Standard" P body is? I just can't tell anything from the pics I've found.

Thing is, it's hard to get the correct angle on the cut and the bottom of the slot may wind up not being round. Just take it to a tech and have it done right.

Hello all, New to the forum. I just bought a P bass body and a J neck. I’m looking for any assembly “gotchas” that those with more Warmoth experience may have. By way of background, I’ve played bass off and on for 40 years. Eight years ago I decided that I should get a 6 string to work on...
