How is the Schecter P5? I have been looking at p basses and that one caught my eye.
Ol' Red off to the lair of loudness today. I love Ol' Red.
The P5 is amazing. I bought it online with never even playing it and I regret nothing.

Love your basses! What is your headless hardware?
Finally wired those old Hi-A pickups into my parts Precision- also put some Omega saddles on a Kickass plate- digging it 
She'll help you live longer.
- Leduc BD3 1982 with vintage SD and 19th century Rio wood fingerboard
- JB with 1983 neck, 1973 pickups, wiring & pick guard, 2010 body
- 1996 AVRI PB with 1974 PU
They do more than the job
She pretty special. My 1987 Vigier Passion IV fretless with a graphite neck thru.

Yup! Cheap (compared to East, Aguilar and Bartolini), great sounding, pre-wired, customizable, and easy to install.So, I take it u liek teh Audere... just a little...
Changed the pickups to Bartolini 2J Squared quad-coils, each with a north coil/both coils/south coil switch. Audere 2-band preamp & Hipshot hardware.
