2nd bass ;)

Hey guys, I've decided It's time to get a 2nd bass and could use some advice here. I'm currently playing a five string Cort Action V, it's my first bass and I must say very reliable. However I feel like trying something new especially since I have a show coming up in a few weeks and I think rocking a new bass would be sweet! Lol I'm playing in a reggae/rock/ska band and my style of playing is derived from a Latin/bachata background. Because of this, my bandmates have advised me to go with an Ibanez (even though both the guitarists play Fenders.) I have my eyes on an Ibanez SR605, but since I'm ordering online I won't have a chance to test it out first. Any advice would be highly appreciated, thanks!!
