It's so nice I've decided that if no-one wants it for what a Japanese-made bass of that quality should be worth, I don't mind keeping it even though I'm not really a 'modern active 5-string' player... I bought it on a whim really, but I now don't have a musical purpose for it.

A four is fine in most situations, but we used to have dep singers shuffling keys round regularly and I often found myself wishing I had a five string when they'd drop the key so far my low notes fell off the end of the neck. Worth considering.
A lot of modern pop benefits from a 5 too.
Straight up indie/rock stuff I'd see no need for anything more than four strings.
Used flats on and off with a Motown band, any bands where I've needed a bit of grit I've stayed with rounds. Flats sound beautiful, but it's a particular sound and it's not for everything.
I see you are in Ireland. There seem to be plenty of options on the Irish classifieds at the moment. In fact I'm selling an Ibby talman and P bass with flatwounds in Ireland at the moment, as I'm high tailing it out of the country next week!

The headstock on the atk is weird, wonder if the hipshot would fit? (What demensions are needed?)

Easy to darken if you want a more mellow tone. I sometime even put foam under the bridge if I want that tone for a whole set.
