So it's not just me then! The 5 definitely sounds fatter. I prefer it to the four. Could a better pickup add some fatness to the four?

I've been wondering whether there's a natural tone difference between the same model bass as a 4 and 5 string version. I've got a Sterling Ray34 and Ray35 which have the same body and neck material, same tuners, same bridge and same nut. The pickups are supposed to be 4 & 5 string version of the same pickup. They both have the same Daddario XL strings. With the eq set flat, the five string sounds much fatter and just better. Is this down to the wider neck or some other difference due to the extra string?

I've got a pair of Sterling Ray's, a Ray34 and a Ray35. I've found that they sound quite a bit different. The 35 has a much bigger, more rounded tone while the 34 sounds a bit weak by comparison (eq flat on both). Would this be down to the more chunky 5 string neck or would it be down to differences in the pickups?

What he said 👆 The Sire V7 is seriously good for a very reasonable price.

It almost sounds like you want a completely different bass. Changing so much suggests you don't like much of what you've got.

They bought the whole company, not just a name. I can't remember which brand it was but Behringer bought the rights to the name of a new start up company who had some great pedals but hadn't yet registered their name and then sued the original company for using their own name. That's not good.

I've been put off Behringer by some of their business practices. Buying the rights to old, well known brands and then selling their own kit under the name of classic products without making it clear its not the original.
