The Coles 4038 uses a 1" long ribbon tuned a bit higher than the Apex 205 which uses a 50mm (1.97"), very low tension ribbon.
For a bit leaner sound in the bass and perhaps a different midrange feel, one of the "short ribbon" (35mm), higher tuned mics like the Nady RSM-4 or Cascade Fathead would be worth a try.
