P5 Club?

I am close to joining. Love my P4 and my fancy active 5’s are falling out of favor.

Okay - so there's a Precision Club & a 5 string Club, but not a 5 string P-Bass Club specifically (that I know of).

There have been quite a few threads where my fellow P5 owners have enthusiastically posted how much they love theirs, sooooo....

I'll get things rolling... Here's my 2010 Fender:View attachment 317407

New Sire P7 5-string is supposed to arrive tomorrow.

Had this one a while back. Just really didn't dig the relic thing, but a fantastic bass.

Thanx.

It was a part's bass build, but with as many original parts as I could source. And the finish was custom from MJT.

I detailed the whole process in this thread:

Thread 'Fender American Deluxe Precision Bass 5 String Rebuild Project'

Apr 17, 2020

I’m embarking on my third parts bass project build. I started my first build project in 2013, and that parts P-Bass became one of my main players. With that history in mind and another bass from my past I got interested in doing this.

After a pretty long sabbatical because life got in the way I’m playing again a lot more. And with G.A.S. starting to creep in I was surfing the Guitar Center used gear site. One instrument caught my eye: a Fender American Deluxe Precision Bass 5 string in 3-tone sunburst with a pay ferro fingerboard. I had owned one of these from around 2005 to...
