I think you'd definitely want to play a five string to see if you like it. With a standard five, you are essentially getting five lower notes (B - D#). Advantages are: those lower notes for heavier styles and easier access to notes in certain patterns. Coming from guitar, you may find that a five string has some disadvantages: the bottom string is a big gauge (often 0.130+), the neck can be pretty wide, scale length is often 35 inches, and it will be somewhat heavier than the equivalent four-string. And price is usually higher.
If your random noodling is Alex Webster basslines, then you definitely want one. For everything else, you'll need to decide whether you want/need those extra notes. Of course, you could string the bass higher, too.
Or there is the Fender/Squier Bass VI. Short scale (30"), six-string, tuned like a guitar, around $450.
