A classic revisited: the Precision spirit in a left-handed configuration

With its Precision Bass-style body and Natural finish, the P5R Alder-4 LH NT RN follows the tradition of timeless electric basses: a direct, solid instrument built to "hold the mix." The combination of alder, rosewood, and vintage-oriented electronics aims for an authentic sound, while the roasted maple neck adds extra stability and consistency over the seasons.

For which bassists and styles?

This bass is aimed at beginner to intermediate bassists seeking a reliable foundation, as well as stage and studio musicians looking for a straightforward P-style sound. It excels in rock, pop, punk, soul, funk, and blues, thanks to its clear attack and solid low-end foundation. Its long scale length favors note sustain and precision on the lower frets.

The sound

The alder body is known for its balance: present but controlled lows, clear mids, and smooth highs, helping the bass stay defined within a band. The rosewood fingerboard adds natural warmth and a slightly mellow grain, ideal for vintage tones. The set of Marcus Vintage Fat-Precision Revolution pickups, controlled by a simple volume and tone duo, goes straight to the point: open, you get a brighter, more articulate attack; rolled off, the tone becomes darker, more "old school," perfect for thick grooves and roots lines. The roasted maple neck contributes to a quick and consistent response, with good sustain and a pleasing sense of stability.

Recommended compatible accessories

For immediate use with an amp, plan for a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable. A strap and a bass stand are also suitable, regardless of orientation (right or left-handed), to play comfortably and protect the instrument daily.
