Timeless Tone and Superior Stability
The P5 is engineered for maximum performance through simplicity and material quality, ensuring years of solid playability.
P-Bass Purity and Punch
- Vintage-Fat Precision Pickup: The P5 is equipped with the Marcus Vintage-Precision Revolution Set pickup. This split-coil design provides the massive output, low-end girth, and focused mid-range punch that made the original P-style famous.
- Passive Tone Control: The simple passive bass guitar electronics offer precise control via Volume and Tone knobs. There are no batteries, switches, or complex active circuits—just a direct, powerful signal straight to your amp.
- Alder Body Foundation: The body is crafted from resonant North American Alder body bass, providing the classic, full-bodied tone with rich lows and excellent sustain that complements the split-coil pickup perfectly.
Premium Neck Stability and Feel
- Roasted Maple P Neck: The neck and fingerboard are crafted from thermally treated roasted maple. This process significantly enhances the wood's stability against weather changes, while providing a vintage look and a warm, resonant tone.
- Comfortable C-Shape: The Hard Maple neck features a familiar C-Shape profile and the Sire Edgeless™ (Rolled Fretboard Edges) treatment, delivering a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the box that promotes comfortable playability across the 34'' scale.
- Bone Nut: The inclusion of a Bone Nut aids in stability and improves string vibration transfer, enhancing the instrument's natural resonance.
Reliability and Style
- Vintage-S Bridge: Features the Marcus Miller Vintage-S Bridge and premium open-gear tuning machines, ensuring rock-solid stability and sustain.
- Classic Aesthetics: With its traditional P-bass body shape and classic finishes, the P5 delivers the iconic vintage P bass look with modern playability.
