Marcus Miller P5 Alder-4 TS

How can I start reviewing this bass? For the price its up there with MIM Fender Precision basses and im my honest opinion, it might be even better.

The neck is, as everyone says, out of this world. Roasted maple, rolled edges, fretwork is buttery smooth, glossy finish. A joy to play on and it feels like a neck from an instrument that has been played for the last 10 years. Surreal and supreme.

The finish is pretty good. I have some minor cosmetic flaws, but at this price point cannot complain. The color of the sunburst is amazing. Pick guard is OK.

The pickup, while a bight bright, produces a great P bass tone, so no complaints there. One of the pots ( the tone ) was a bit dusty and it scratches a little bit, but hey, this is pretty common with all instruments.

The instrument comes in a good state, set up wise, from the factory. Of course you can lower the action even more, but its perfectly playable. Intonation out of the box is spot on.

If you are in the market for a great P bass, look no further. This is the ultimate instrument that is antagonizing basses with 2x the price tag.
