Sire Marcus Miller P5. No love?

[BELA]

The web has a lot of videos of people loving this bass and/or complaining about the lack of availability but I cannot seem to find a lot of info in Basschat.

Any of you own or have tried this bass?

Thoughts?

Is there a specific forum in here that I have not found?

I tried to get one a few months back but there was none to be had. Apparently they are having the now usual problems, pandemic, shipping etc.

It may be the first time that I (lefty bass player) have and advantage over right handed players, as there are a couple of lefty P5s available in my hometown

I thought about getting one, but it would mean selling my V7 and Squier VM Precision...and I quite like the both of them. 

 

The thing about the early V7's like mine, that I really like, is the neck. 38mm nut, 7.25in radius and it's lacquered finish. If Sire put that neck on the P5 I'd go for it 🙂

horses for courses. If I buy the P5 it will be for the roasted maple, satin finish neck, lol

The roasted maple does look great
