That makes my E string sound like a B without buying a 5 string bass.

| | | | It's intended for guitar, but the Morpheus Drop Tune pedal will do this. Of course it will change the pitch of all strings, not just the E string. But I think you'd be better restringing your 4-string.
Google 'pitch shifter pedal' - there's tons of them: Eventide, Digitech, Electro-Harmonix, ect...

You could try the pedal route, but I think it will disappoint you.

Just to clarify, however, you want to keep the other strings tuned the same way?
That is, BADG?
Or are you wanting BEAD?
If thou desirest BADG, you could perhaps something like a Roland VB-99 synthesizer, which I think would do it.
But really, +1 on the fiver.
