It's the same difference as playing an open A or A on the E string.

They are different notes because of the string they are being played on and the position of the note.

On a 5 string bass you have the choice of which note is appropriate.

I respectfully disagree with this- it sounds different and not always in a good way.

This is why I went back to four strings - I hate the sound of the lower strings played higher up the neck.

When I tired the sub-300 pounds 5-string, the E on the 5th string did not sound good to me. Obviously that isn't any indicator of how it would sound on a higher quality bass but that's my budget. I was impressed with how the 4-string sounded and felt at that price though.
