P bass neck pocket pdf?

[MPU]

I'm making a P bass custom body for a friend. I have no P bass neck available for making a neck pocket template. Does anyone have a pdf of a P bass neck pocket for share?

I'd wait unto you have the neck and use that to prepare your template. That's what I did. Trace around it directly on the template plywood

Hey Marko;

You can just lay it out manually. It's 2.500" wide at the back end of the pocket, before you add the radiused end and corners. The heel line is right at the 21st fret position. Then the sides taper to a nut width of 1.75", 23.89" from the heel. After you have those lines drawn, add a 6" radius across the end of the heel. Then the corner radiuses are 5/16" (0.312"). That's the classic Fender geometry.

Thanks Bruce, those dimensions help a lot! To the drawing board...

I'm trying to avoid shipping the neck to me.

Hello MPU,
Been off TB for a while, so only see this now:
I have a CAD file for a P-Bass, original measurements taken from an American Standard P-Bass, but cross verified against other sources, such as the file already linked here, but also various Fender wiring diagrams.
The dimensions are quite consistent.
It's a working document for me, several layers for different versions, etc.; I like to do a lot of 'what if's'...
If still needed, I can extract the needed info and dimensions to a pdf for you. Just let me know.

Thanks for the offer. I got a tracing of the neck heel from the guy I'm making the body.
