The best playing and sounding basses I've ever owned: my emerald blue G&L JB5 with East pre and my Status Stealth-2 fiver with 303 board.

If yes, that would make perfect sense to me.
For me it would be my 1982 Fender Jazz with white bound all-maple neck and 70's era pickup spacing (4" center to center), which I bought back in 1985 and the Dingwall Leland Sklar signature 5-string in Blue, which I have yet to acquire. May have to "settle" for the non-signature version:
