Analysis Paralysis... Help! Buying New Bass!

[Mike Ikona]

Hello Everyone... I bought the Sadowsky. Buy once, cry once!

Hello friends, I am looking at buying an additional bass. Currently, I own an MTD Super 5, MTD Z5, Ibanez BTB805MS, Ibanez EHB1005MS, and SqDuier Affinity 5 string jazz. I live a few hours from any real music stores, so I buy often without trying the instrument first. My favorite by far is my MTD Super 5. Second I s the MTD Z5. I'm looking at the following basses:

1. MTD Kinston andrew Gouche 5
2. Lakland 55-60
3. G&L L2500 CLF
4. Sadowsky Metroline Modern 5 (this would piss off the wife due price)
5. Sadowsky MetroExpress 5 PJ

Whatever bass needs 19mm string spacing . Seems like I prefer 35 iinch scale, but 34 inch isn't a deal breaker. I'm leaning towards the G&L due to the reviews...But I like the others too. The MTD AS seems to be my second choice so far. Also, I play in an 80s cover band and a rock/reggae cover band. Any suggestions would be welcome. I appreciate your time and hope you have a great week! Many thanks!

Compared to what you have now, and compared to most of the basses on your wish list, the G&L will be the most polar opposite sound you will encounter.
It will be grittier and brighter and rip your face off vs all of those others.
