String through body holes for J Bass Build . . .

I've got MM J Bass body (new) and in any day I will be getting my fretless Warmoth J Bass neck along with a Schaller 463 bridge. I have a fretted MIA J Bass which strings through the body then through the bridge. This is my first build. Would everything work out fine if I did not drill the "through body" holes and just string through bridge like I do with my Ric and Modulus? or . . . should I drill string holes in my MM J Bass body? I'm leaning toward only drilling for the bridge and not bothering with sting holes in the body. Your advice will be appreciated.

The Schaller 463 does not support string-through-body, so there is no reason to drill the holes in the new MIM body.

Thanks! I wasn't sure but thought that might be the case and was in fact hoping that would be the case.
