Similar body and playing style, but the sound is different. Try looking at the Fender Precision Bass

You might as well get a 6 string if the low b is just for extended range. But Stingrays have a lot of punch and are good for funk if that's what your into.

Back the neck pickup off and that will boost the mid frequencies. There’s plenty of punch in a Jazz bass ( I have two). Back the neck pickup off and that will boost the mid frequencies.

(other than to tune down) I'd agree if you had no intention in playing anything other than pop rock and have no intentions on making creative compositions, but i think your better than that. My bassist has a six-string ibanez BTB. If i were to get a new 5 or 6 string and money was no issue, i'd say a warwick, neckthrough. Otherwise Earnie Ball makes some nice 5 strings for a decent price, but you still have to pay for quality. If you want punch just make sure it's active and has good tone control.
