re: 4/5/6 string bass
>>>is that "guitar top" or "everybody else" top?
(personally, I really don't like light strings on the low notes and
always go for
the thickest possible )<<<
top meaning high notes.
If thicker lower strings work for you, go for it, but my own
experience is that you get exactly the effect you're talking about -
a loss of clarity and intonation above the 5th fret. With a lighter B
and E string, I get a lot more clarity and better balance across the
strings. YMMV.
