Hello,

I would love to own a 5 string P but it is just out of my price range..even if one can find a used model, and that is rare, they are quite pricey.

Anyone aware of Fender offering a 5 string P, with just the split pickup only? In maybe a squier model or a non american Fender?

Here are a few from this site's Product section. Prices shown are MSRP's, so you can purchase these at a lower price.

American Standard Precision Bass® V
With Fender currently offering $100 off, you can find these online for $1,249.00.

These next ones are Squier Jazz V basses (2 passive - 1 active). I know you asked about P-basses, but these are moderately priced.

They did an American Deluxe 5-stringer with a humbucking Jazz Bass pickup in the bridge and active electronics between 1999 and 2007.

Squier has a P-Bass Special V if you're looking for a budget-priced 5-string Precision, however, this bass is fitted with a pair of Jazz Bass pickups w/ alnico magnets instead of a P/J pickup configuration.

You can swap the stock pickups with a Bartolini 5-string P/J set and order a custom pickguard from WD Music in order to fit the split-coil humbucking neck pickup.
