This meme puts me in the opposite of where I am on the political compass funnily enough. I'm in the LibLeft corner politically, but I play 5, 6, and even 7-string bass guitars as my primary instrument for the most part. The 4s still come in handy when you don't need or feel to use more, though.
I've played five and six string basses, but I've always owned a four string. I guess I like the punch of a Jazz bass a little better. Especially Ibanez and Peavey Cirrus basses; they're almost "floppy" sounding to me.
When it comes to Fender, I much prefer Jazz over Precision myself. Speaking of extended-range Fender basses, though, Steve Bailey, chair of the bass department at Berklee College of Music, uses this massive machine as a specialized jazz bass commonly attributed to him:
