I have a 4 string, 1970 P-bass. I recently purchased a replacement tortoise pick guard that didn't fit. While the shape was relatively the same, the screw hole placement was way off. When I contacted the seller, they told me I had to order a "vintage" pick guard to fit my 1970 P-Bass.

Is this true? How many P-Bass pick guards are there?

What exactly do I need to specify when I order another one?

Yes, it's true.
Check out this site for a proper 70's pickguard -

You may need to send the original or a tracing of the original to one of the more "popular" pickguard companies, such as my favorite WD Music. That will ensure all the holes and everything will line up correctly.
Or you can continue to "gamble" on ordering them from places with the hopes that they fit.
