Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Schecter’s P-5 Ivy is a right-handed, five-string solid-body bass that combines a P-style outline with modern appointments. Its USA MonsterTone-P split-coil pickup is described as delivering warm, rounded bass response with added output for deep lows, articulate highs, and quiet operation. A thin-C maple neck, 16-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, 35-inch scale, and 21 narrow extra-jumbo frets define the playing platform. Master volume and tone controls keep the layout direct, while the high-mass bridge and Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut complete the hardware package.
