IMHO, strings are the most important of all factors, but on the condition of top quality pups. With mediocre pups, the difference will be much less.

Let's say pups 40%, strings 40%, fingerboard 10%, rest 10%

String can alter the unaltered tone of the bass where pickups and eletronics are can be changed so like 50 percent
