Advice on buying a good Drop C bass?

Hello forum

I recently joined two bands. One of them plays in standard E and the other one in dropped C. I have 1 good sounding jazz bass, which I'll use for E.

I also have an ibanez gsr200. It does sound nice, but not good enough in my opinion.

I am looking for bass which:

- Is light, I like lightweight basses ^^

- Has a funky, heavy tone. (Going to use it for postrock, progressive rock/metal, etc.)
It surely shouldn't sound muddy, I'd like it to have a clean sound. I love a punchy, funky sound. Always hard to describe this :s.
I'd like it to sound somewhat like this

- costs under € 500, or a bit more.

- I like a good adjustable, but not too fragile bridge.

I'll surely go and try out different basses, but I'll need some advice too ^^

Greetz,
Me :hiding:
