Sound & Tone
The alder body and single Schecter USA MonsterTone-P pickup put the emphasis on thick low-mids and punch, giving the P-5 that familiar split-coil P-bass voice with a straightforward volume-and-tone setup for quick adjustments. The 35" scale keeps the low B tight and articulate rather than loose, while the high-mass bridge and Tusq nut add sustain and note clarity, and the maple neck with rosewood board keeps the attack focused. It's a natural fit for rock, metal, punk, and hard-hitting pop or gospel work where a five-string needs to sit under a dense mix, and the thin 'C' neck profile makes fast lines and melodic playing manageable alongside heavier picking or plectrum attack.
Schecter P-5 Electric Bass in Ivory
The Schecter P-5 delivers a comfortable, fast-playing experience built on a thin 'C' maple neck and 35" extended scale that rewards both aggressive attack and nuanced melodic work. This five-string instrument combines classic P-bass character with added depth across all strings, cutting through any mix with thick, punchy tone. The ivory finish and black hardware present understated elegance while the electronics and construction deliver the professional-grade reliability expected from a working bassist.
Playability & Construction
The bolt-on alder body with flat top pairs with a maple neck shaped to a thin 'C' profile, measuring 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth for responsive, comfortable play across extended sessions. The 35" scale with 21 narrow X-jumbo frets and 16" fretboard radius on rosewood provides the extended range and articulation five-string players demand, while pearloid offset/reverse dot inlays offer clear visual reference points in lower register work.
Tone & Electronics
The Schecter USA MonsterTone-P™ bridge pickup drives authoritative low-end and midrange presence with simple volume and tone controls fitted with metal knurled knobs for reliable operation night after night. Hardware includes a Schecter high-mass bass bridge (string-through or top-load configuration), 2-way adjustable truss rod with heel access spoke wheel, and Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut at 1.771" width—all contributing to solid sustain and tonal clarity across the full frequency range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the neck profile and does it suit fast playing?
The Schecter P-5 features a thin 'C' profile maple neck measuring 0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth, designed for responsive and comfortable play across extended sessions. Combined with the 35" scale and 21 narrow X-jumbo frets, it supports both aggressive attack and nuanced melodic work without fatigue.
How does this compare to other five-string basses in its class?
The P-5 combines classic P-bass character with extended-range capability and a punchy midrange that cuts through mixes more aggressively than traditional four-strings. It sits alongside competitors like the Fender Precision Bass 5, Ibanez SR505, and Lakland 55-94, offering professional-grade construction and a USA-made pickup at a mid-tier price point.
What pickup and electronics are included?
The Schecter P-5 features a Schecter USA MonsterTone-P bridge pickup paired with simple volume and tone controls fitted with metal knurled knobs for reliable operation. The Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut (1.771" width) and high-mass bass bridge contribute to solid sustain and tonal clarity across the full frequency range.
What genres and playing styles is this bass best suited for?
The P-5 excels in funk, rock, progressive, studio sessions, and live performance where thick low-end, punchy midrange, and articulate presence are essential. Its extended range and cutting tone make it less suited for folk and worship applications.
What is the scale length and fretboard radius?
The Schecter P-5 features a 35" extended scale with a 16" rosewood fretboard radius, pearloid offset/reverse dot inlays for visual reference in lower register work, and 21 narrow X-jumbo frets for articulation and extended range capability.
