Bass recommend please...!

I'v been having difficulty finding the ultimate bass for me...

I'm using Alleva-Coppolo LG 5, it is an awesome bass but it lacks some 'modernity' to it
(lack of frets, lack of "sustain" which projects fat & warm tone through out bars)

My needs are as following :

- 5 string
- 34" / 24~26 frets
- thru-neck
- two humbucker pickups
- (optional) single cut
- 17.5mm ~ 18mm bridge spacing
- 5k ~ 7k

i think for now, the one that fits my needs the best is fodera imperail or even II

but they are way above my budget...

any thoughts please?
