4 string.
The 5 string tends to attract douchebags.

I've only played a bass once in my life but, four strings does seem to be enough.

5's are nice, but that low B should be used sparingly for the best effect.

I just like basses. I'll play any bass I can get my hands on. 4, 5, 6, 7, 11. Doesn't ****in' matter.

I learned on a fret-less 4, but I primarily play 5 now. If that makes me a douchebag, then I challenge... TO BASS OFF!!! DunDun DUUNNNN!!!!

in all honesty, if you look at Colin's other projects, like Dysrhytmia, it's basically his vision of music being played out. while it may seem hard to believe, they plan out every note, every key change, with insane precision and accuracy
