They both have the same 5 pc neck.

Everything makes a difference with woods, laminations and most of all, finish, when it comes to sound. How much is heard and felt in your hands might be different than what comes thru the amp but they are different. The 3pc neck is only on the MS series NT's. The GN is standard with 3pc body wings and the EG 5, if that was your concern initially. The 5 piece body wings will be different if it's the exact same bass and finish. Otherwise, there are too many variables to make a comparison and point to what is making it different.
