I have a C4H bass. But I'm liking of the sound of B4 and 74. And I have this question: 74 or B4? I need your opinion (gerr, sid, others)
And they make a 5 string model . This makes Bassguy a happy guy methinks.
Go with the B4. It has a more aggressive look to it and the headstock design is more attractive to the eye.

Yes Bassguy1, I think that bass sound of B4 is more outstanding. But I want a 4 strings version hehe.

Gerr, do you think the sound of the B4 is like the peavey?

With a five string, you get a 4 string bass plus more. You can play it as a four string using the B string as a thumb rest. And when you want or need really low notes, use that B string.

I think you should consider a five string. Then you would have both a four string and a five string.

Just my opinion. cheers.

One nice thing about a five string is that you can play Drop D songs, and songs in other tunings, without having to retune. (And then tune back to standard tuning. ) And if you do play songs that go lower than E, a five string sounds better than an octave pedal, IMO.

A five string is a four string with one more, lower pitch, string. More versatility. If you already have a four string and are thinking of a second bass, you should consider a five string - unless the music you play never requires anything lower than the E string.

My opinion anyway.

The best thing to do > Go on and try out instruments B4, B5, 74 and 75 on music store. It's only way for you to have a better experience and see which fits best to you.
Cort basses are always good!
