Thanks EXTREMELY much for the detailed breakdown of each & combined pickup settings and the boosting of the Active Preamp on the older American Deluxe Precision V 5-string. I'm very much NOT a P-Bass Guy, but the 1st Generation of the Deluxe/American Deluxe Precision Bass (just "Dlx" from '95-'99, "Am Dlx" from '00-'08) called out to me with its Dual Coil Bridge Humbucker that allow the Jazz Bass-type mids that I crave to be dialed into a 5-string P-Bass. I even found my "Dream" version of it virtually unused: a 2000 5-string with Maple Fretboard and 5-Inline Headstock (they switched to your 4/1 in 2001 or 02) with Ash Body in Crimson Transparent. Unfortunately it was literally 2 days after a move to Dr Better-Half's new job, and had absolutely no Extra Bass Ca$h after moving costs (it was gone in under a week as well... :-( ) However, I had a "spare" Spector ReBop5 Dlx FM (aka Spector's "Euro Bolt-On" model) that I hadn't modded to my custom Pickup & Preamp specs, and used that to try and make my "homemade" version of the Am Dlx P5. Namely, swapping out the stock Pups for EMGs "40P5" & "40DC" (their 5-string Precision and Dual Coil Pickups set in their 5-string "40" Soapbar-Sized housings that the bass was already routed for. Along with an Aguilar OBP-3SK/PP 3-band Active Preamp, this setup gave me a *VERY* close approximation of Fender's 5-string Precision & Dual Coil Humbucker sounds and your Tone Examples in the video (Great job on that, by the way!!) The farthest off I am is with the EMG's inherent "SuperClean" Activeness - I'm not an Active EMG guy as well & am continuously looking for a Pickup Builder that can make Passive 5-string P and DC pups but in the EMG-sized shells, but the bolt-on body and woods used help bring me far closer than if I were using the more common Neck-Thru Spector, and if I can find a Passive Soapbar builder I'll stop looking for my "Dream" Fender American Deluxe Precision V as I'll have essentially have 95% of the tone without the hyper-inflated costs they now sell for on the Used Market. Again, thanks for the great tonal examples!
Hey there Scarred2112 , Wow! I'm blown away by this post and your commitment to getting the tone that you want. That is so cool! Thanks a bunch for posting this. I hope people will read this. Even if they don't know what all the details mean, it's just inspiring to see someone so focused on achieving something. Thanks again Scarred2112 for the post! It made my day and thank you for the compliments as well. Cheers!!! Trinidad
Well, i actually have this bass for 7 years and used it extensively to a lot of style, but most particularly rock/metal. It really does fit really well, the big advantage is the the built in preamp gives it a lot of versatility : you can set the sound to be really what you want. For Rock, it ll really sound great. Great video by the way ! The video sound is quite respectful of the sound you'd have live !
I just bought a sunburst 2005. The mid freq pickup is designed to compensate for the fact that the traditional split P Bass pickups are wired out of phase for noise cancelling but they also give phase cancellation. So the P Bass has mid frequencies scooped out. The mid pot allows you to dial them back in. Personally, I bought a P Bass for that out of phase sound but having been a Jazz Bass player for many years I still want to be able to get something close to that sound as well, so dialing in just a little mid with both front and back pickups on does the trick. But mostly I think I will use it as a straight P Bass. Haven't gigged with it yet and I have month of gigs coming up playing with different acts doing very different styles so I think this bass will give me the scope I need
Hi Nikklazz Thanks! I keep meaning to to another video with this bass because it sounds so good. I love Fenders too. Make sure you subscribe and you should get a notification of when another video get's posted. Thanks for leaving a comment! Cheers.
yes ! in fact i tried this bass first in a shop ! it was a rosewood model ! it sounded great to my ears ! and i bought a used model by internet , with a mapple neck ! too much aigues, too much low frequencies to be precise ! result : 4 months later, solded !! next bass i'll buy will be a precision vintage 58 ! 4 strings ! and a stringray 5 !! that's it ! i already owe a g&l L2000 ! fantastic bass for everything !!
Wow, that's cool. If you have any links to audio samples or UA-cam videos, post them so I can give a listen. I'd be very curious what tones you're getting out of the bass. I'm always curious to hear different peoples use of these basses. Thanks for the comment and compliment!
I got it re-fretted. 4 weeks later it was stolen from the bar we were gigging in. I found out it was a wee junkie & he sold it for £20. I never saw it again. I would love one of those 5 string PBass you have. :)
+Pete BassClef , yikes! I've had basses stolen over the years and it's never fun to deal with. Good luck finding one of there. They do show up every now and again but you have to be on the look out and ready to snatch it up when it shows up.
Hi Frankie G, That is so great. I think you love the bass. Mine is still completely stock. I've not felt the need to hot-rod anything on it. Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate it. Trinidad
+Pete BassClef thanks for the comment. For some reason these basses went under a lot of peoples radar. I love it and use it almost everyday. I bet your '67 PBass sounded incredible! Cheers!
Hey Roland, I was pretty sure I answered your comment/question, but I don't see my answer here. What I recommend is going to eBay and looking under "completed sales" and find an ad there or in the sale section for that matter. You can find info in those description there, usually. Other than that, it can be a little difficult. Thanks!
Hi Dan. The strings are GHS Boomers. I believe 125-40 Gauge. It's been a while. The other possibility would be Fender Strings. The Gauge would be the same.
Lee Puckett , thanks for the comment. It's just a simple passive precision bass pick up. That's usually the pick up I use 99% of the time on this bass.
Hi Ben, No bother at all. I guess I lost track of the comments. I'm currently not interested in selling the bass. I use it often and love playing it! Thanks for your interest though. Take care.
Hi Cristian. Hmmm, I would probably give the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay basses a try. I have a 5-string StingRay and almost always end up using it for rock sound live and in the studio. I hope that helps. Maybe I'll put a video up in the near future. Thanks for the question! I hope my answer helps a little.
Hi Horatiu. I haven't watched the video in a while. Did I say that I was scooping the mids on the bass? I don't know if I've ever used it that way because I typically don't find that tone useful. I know on some of the examples I boosted the treble and bass all the way. I wonder if that's what you're hearing. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Lovely midrange tone on this bass, especially on the bridge pickup. Too bad you're losing all your volume when you try to scoop the mids. Can't you compensate by boosting the bass and treble? All in all, great sounding bass. Congrats.
That is the one drawback to this bass. You love a lot of volume when scooping the mid-range. I do wish to mid-range potentiometer was stepped and not just smooth. Cheers!
Hi! Very nice review! It reminds me when I first tried this bass in a shop. But I couldn't afford it back then... What about the link to fender website? I screwed finding some info... Thanks a lot!
THIS IS SOOO FUNNY.. I am youtube doing research on 5 String P basses going back in forth if I need one.. and WOW!! THIS VIDEO COMES UP! LOOK A GOD I AM SOLD!! I MISS YOU BROTHER. BUT I GET THE PLEASURE OF PLAYING WITH YOUR BROTHER SO I KINDA GET TO SEE YOU LOL!! MISS YOU
Hi. I don't remember the gauge. I typically use a medium size on my basses. HOWEVER, I had tapered strings on for a while and they just didn't seem to work well at all. There was weird resonances that I kept having problems with. Because strings are so expensive, it was hard to experiment with gauges and manufactures.
@@tonepot2339 That's KILLER. I've her Marcus demo that bass and it sounds amazing. Congratulation! How long have you had it? I take it you're still happy with it?
@@eimidioskouroi yes, very happy. Sounds great for multiple sounds (even though I usually use the same sound), looks, and plays great! I've had it a couple months
hi, could you suggest me a setup for a musicman sound ? i mean: good presence, peak of the high frequencies to the touch with some medium frequencies that i don't know to increase, that is a general sound of croaking/scratching but with the presence of bass and a extreme clarity and brilliance - (an example is the sound of Jeff Caxidy of ISIS band).

Hey there. I still have this bass and do not see myself selling it. It really is an exceptional bass. I hope you can find a used one out there. Best of luck!
+Brian Strom , The stacked bridge p/u's are but the precision (neck) pick ups are not. The bass has a very hot output over all. I get around it by dialing the volume back a bit. However, it's fine with some amp heads and microphone preamps in the studio. Do you like your bass? I love mine. Thanks for you comment! Cheers, Trinidad
Funny you should ask. I tried the Schecter Diamond P5's a while back. They all felt really good to play and sounded great. I didn't know much about them. Also, I wasn't directly comparing them to my Fender bass. That being said, they are just two different animals. So different, that I would have considered getting one just to have a different sound. It reminded me of an Ernie Ball Stingray in that they would be good for a little bit heavier rock.
Trinidad Sanchez III thanks. I really like a P and double J pickup together, and neither of these are made anymore. Probably have to choose based on whatever the used market has to offer, don't think there's a bad choice between the two
Somehow these basses flew under that radar and now people are waking up to them. The Fenders do come up occasionally if you're looking. Good look with your hunt.
Just traded a Reverend Mercalli FM 5 for this American deluxe pbas (2007 4-strings model with maple neck). Same pickups setup as the Reverend but more powerful with the onboard active EQ and lighter weight. Anyone try this model with flatwounds?
Hi Ben, The best answer I would give is to see if you can see what it has sold for on eBay in "completed listings". That will show what people are willing to buy it for. Thanks!
le veilleur non silencieux Actually, the 5-string versions of the American Deluxe Jazz & Precision Vs have a *Pau Ferro* fretboard, which is an oily wood like Rosewood but harder and punchier, but not as hard or as bright as Maple so "the best of both worlds" if you're a Rosewood fan. However, it's pretty rare these days and big increase in cost if you're having a Custom Bass made. I'm not a fan of *only* one fretboard wood. I tend to like Birdseye Maple on my Jazz Basses to bring a touch of 3-8kHv to give the very high frequencies a boost "naturally" from the fretboard wood before EQing it in, and Rosewood on my Spectors as they're bright enough with their Maple bodies and Necks, as well as their usual EMG DC Pickups. Interestingly, the American Deluxe Precision V that will always be "the one that got away" unless I have a Custom Bass specs made to it was a Maple fretboard & Swamp Ash body wood, and it sounded *fantastic* to my ears. Perhaps the Swamp Ash/Maple combination worked better together - it IS a go-to wood combination for Jazz Basses, especially very note-articulate midrange-scooped Fingerstyle and Slap/Pop techniques of playing. 🤔
Hi Benjamin. Thanks for the offer. I love this bass and don't have any plans on selling it. Unfortunately, they do not come up for sale very often. Cheers!
Fender needs to make this bass again
John Jareo I get so many comments like this. They really should!
I’m glad you mentioned the midrange. 👍🏾

Check out the Reverend Mercalli basses with korina wood and passive PUs. Solid basses. I have the FM 5. 💯

would u reccomend this bass for rock sounds?
Yes, definitely. I might recommend an Ernieball stingray as another option as well. Cheers!
Yes. An Ernieball stingray might work well for rock too 🤘🏻 Cheers!
Not a huge fan of 5 string p basses, personally. Even tho this sounds amazing. Great playing btw
Thank you very much for comment! I agree. There’s something about a four stringer that I will not argue about. 🤘🏻
Hola amigo que cuerdas estás usando.?
Hola Javier. Estoy usando Fender 7250 (.045 - .125)
Hola donde podría conseguir ese tipo de pastillas que trae ese bajo
Son las pastillas originales. Esta base está en stock y suena muy bien. Eso es lo que me encanta de él.
nice bass..but i think its kinda heavy when it comes to weight
I agree with you on that. I use a wider strap so it doesn’t dig in to my shoulder too much. Killer bas though. Cheers!
Hi Sanchez the 3rd, just found your channel, so you got a sub from me, we all need em haha !!!... cheers rob
Cheers, Rob!
What brand/type strings?
They are the LaBella nickle wound stainless steel 👍🏻 Cheers!
How much would you sell it for?
Hi Ben, The best answer I would give is to see if you can see what it has sold for on eBay in "completed listings". That will show what people are willing to buy it for.
Thanks!
Eu tenho uma igual a este com escala em Maple
Isso é incrível! Espero que você ame 👌🏻
sweeeet
Thank you Tsirkunov!
i had the same, with maple neck, i solded it !!!!
rosewood definitly sounds better
warning ! don't buy this bass with mapple neck
le veilleur non silencieux Actually, the 5-string versions of the American Deluxe Jazz & Precision Vs have a *Pau Ferro* fretboard, which is an oily wood like Rosewood but harder and punchier, but not as hard or as bright as Maple so "the best of both worlds" if you're a Rosewood fan. However, it's pretty rare these days and big increase in cost if you're having a Custom Bass made.
I'm not a fan of *only* one fretboard wood. I tend to like Birdseye Maple on my Jazz Basses to bring a touch of 3-8kHv to give the very high frequencies a boost "naturally" from the fretboard wood before EQing it in, and Rosewood on my Spectors as they're bright enough with their Maple bodies and Necks, as well as their usual EMG DC Pickups.
Interestingly, the American Deluxe Precision V that will always be "the one that got away" unless I have a Custom Bass specs made to it was a Maple fretboard & Swamp Ash body wood, and it sounded *fantastic* to my ears. Perhaps the Swamp Ash/Maple combination worked better together - it IS a go-to wood combination for Jazz Basses, especially very note-articulate midrange-scooped Fingerstyle and Slap/Pop techniques of playing. 🤔
so $1200 would you sell it to me for that much?
Hi Benjamin. Thanks for the offer. I love this bass and don't have any plans on selling it. Unfortunately, they do not come up for sale very often.
Cheers!
