I found a '72 pbass for sale. It's on another forum, looks to be a reliable seller. The pic of the headstock is what is throwing me off... I thought that the headstock usually had small numbers (pat?) printed below the Fender logo. Where there some that were released without that imfo? I'm sure it's the real deal but I like to be as informed as possible with every purchase I make, regardless of what it is. Thanks in advance.

It is very hard to say if a headstock was re-logoed, so to speak, from a picture posted in a forum.

I think the bass should have the pat. numbers but some may not.

It may have been refinished, but it could still be a great bass and a great deal depending on the asking price.

Post more pictures of the rest of the bass and we can guide you as to whether we think it is genuine.

It is a very hard thing to verify from pictures, so if you can consult an expert before buying, it would be a wise move.
