35" scale P bass question

I wonder if I might ask for your help in relation to 35" scale basses, in this case a P style which I have began to build
Is the body the same size as a standard 34" scale P bass, or is it longer, I would assume by 1/2" to accommodate half of the extra inch
The second question I have is what is the measurement from the 12th fret to the split between the two halves of the pickup, this to allow me to place it correctly and (hopefully) retain the authentic sound
Thank you kindly for your help
