Frequently asked questions
What is the main playability difference between these two basses?
The Stiletto Studio-5 features fanned frets (34-36 inch variable scale) that angle each string differently to reduce finger strain across extended range, while the P-5 uses a traditional straight 35-inch scale. Fanned frets take adjustment but reward modern and aggressive playing styles; straight scales feel immediately familiar to most bass players.
How do the tone-shaping options differ?
The Stiletto Studio-5 has a 3-band active EMG EQ system that allows broad frequency sculpting and Master Volume/Blend controls for pickup mixing. The P-5 offers simple volume and tone knobs with no active circuitry, delivering a more straightforward, vintage-style tone that does not require menu navigation.
Which bass is better for funk and jazz?
The P-5 is specifically listed as ideal for funk and jazz, with its focused, articulate USA MonsterTone-P pickup and simple controls that allow players to shape tone intuitively. The Stiletto Studio-5, though capable of funk, is optimized for progressive and djent styles where active EQ and fanned ergonomics shine.
Why is the Stiletto priced as B-stock and what does that mean?
B-stock typically indicates the instrument may have minor cosmetic blemishes or is a return, but the Stiletto Studio-5 carries full new-instrument specifications and performance at a reduced price. You get the same neck-through construction, frets, electronics, and hardware as a new unit at a savings.
