Absolutely...I'd still like a 4 string Jazz bass around for when I need "that" sound but my Smith ERB's cover everything else I need.

This is pretty much my approach as well. The Smiths are first call and whatever tone they can't deliver gets covered by the 4 strings (Alembic Series 1, Celinder Update 4 or '78 Musicman Stingray). Can't think of a more versatile set up.
