Hmmmm, I may have to try the D5, in memory of my brother's long-lost '54 P....

can we merge these 2 threads please? mods?

A fretless '51 is something cool, though I'm more interested in the P5. Might have to snag one of the tealish.

 

[LadyLoveStingRay5]

Oh I might have to add a P5-5 to my arsenal.

I can't see the D5 pickup up close enough to tell - single coil, or split coil humcancelling?

Roasted & rolled! I'm gettin' one!

Wow! That P5 looks incredible... Man oh man I am tempted.

 

[PrimitiveMan]

P5 looks cool but wish it was a reverse P. All the 5 string P basses I've played have had various degrees of muddy B string with the traditional split pickup position.

 

[krfoss]

Jeez. I've never wanted a sure until now. That p5 with roasted is lovely

 

[bumperbass]

Wow, the P5 looks nice. Assuming 19mm spacing?
I don't see it on their site, though. Where is it in the menu?

 

[Killing Floor]

Blonde goodness T style goodnessness

 

[cxcxcx]

Looks like a standard style P4 type passive is missing from the lineup.

 

[Yahboy]

Both look nice !

 

[rocu]

That D5

It’s not on their site yet. Where can I find one in the US?

 

[raphaeld]

The P5 for sure.
been looking for a 5 stringer precision and not much are available.
So I'll get one P5 and maybe one D5 for dessert
please

 

[Hano Rokpony]

Awesome! I just got the v5 J and it's super nice.

I think they look pretty great for the money but something about the body lines don’t sit well with me. I wish they’d traced an actual Fender P and copied it exactly instead. Not that it would’ve swayed me anyhoo.

To each their own. That’s a lot of cool bass for the money.
