Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built around a familiar P-style bass outline, the P-5 adds a five-string, 35-inch-scale format and a Schecter USA MonsterTone-P split-coil pickup. Its pickup is described as warm and rounded, with added deep-low power, articulate highs, and quiet operation for modern music. The maple Thin C neck, 16-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard, and narrow extra-jumbo frets shape the playing feel, while volume and tone controls keep the layout straightforward.
