The P5 embodies Sire?s vision: delivering the iconic feel and tone of Precision-style basses, with refined finishing and contemporary wood choices. Developed around Marcus Miller?s requirements, it retains vintage warmth while providing modern stability and tuning hold thanks to the torrefied maple.
Perfect for ambitious beginners as well as intermediate players seeking a reliable instrument, the P5 LH excels in pop, rock, soul, funk, R&B, and gospel. Its ergonomics and C-shaped neck profile suit fingerstyle, pick playing, or palm-muting, with predictable dynamics for recording.
The alder body combined with the split-coil pickup delivers broad lows, full mid-lows, and smooth highs. The passive Tone control effectively sweeps from a warm ?Motown? fuzz to a more modern presence. The torrefied maple neck and fretboard tighten the attack and enhance sustain, while the 34" scale length stabilizes string tension for a firm and musical response.
