Schecter positioned the P-5 as a five-string bass built around a bolt-on construction and a single split-coil pickup configuration, sitting within their production lineup as a working instrument oriented toward players requiring extended low-end range. The example catalogued here is finished in Ivory, assembled in Indonesia.
The alder body pairs with a maple neck shaped to Schecter's Thin 'C' profile, measuring .787" at the first fret and .866" at the twelfth, with a two-way adjustable truss rod accessible at the heel via a spoke wheel. The 35" scale rosewood fretboard carries 21 narrow extra-jumbo frets at a 16" radius, with pearloid offset/reverse dot inlays. The Graph Tech XL Ivory Tusq nut measures 1.771" wide. A single Schecter USA MonsterTone-P™ split-coil pickup routes through a straightforward Volume/Tone control layout with metal knurled knobs secured by set screws. Hardware throughout is black. The Schecter High Mass bridge accepts both string-through-body and top-load stringing. Schecter Light-Weight tuners are fitted at the headstock. The instrument shipped strung with Ernie Ball 5 String Super Long #2850 (.045–.130) strings.
Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or bridge saddle replacements should consult a qualified bass technician; the 35" scale and 45mm nut width are useful reference points when sourcing replacement strings or nut blanks.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
What do you know about this one?
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
