Whats the closest sounding 5 string, to a 2 band 4 string Ray?

I have 1992 SR5 and 2007 SR5 HH and they sound different from each other in a good way. 1992 one comes with alnico pickup and maple board and 2007 comes with dual ceramic pickups and rosewood board so early SR5 with alnico pickup is probably closest thing to SR4 sound you are searching for in 5er. 92 is more agressive and 07 is more refined sound and I usually ending up 07 model for my gig since I play variety of music from standard music to hip hops and everything in between and SR5 HH is more suitable for the band I am playing with. So many songs I play require lower than E note so I just can't use 4 string bass any more:o
