Best 5 String Bass for this genre...

[73jbass]

Don't count out the Sterling 5. It's been my got to 5 string since they were introduced.

I'd suggest Lakland - for a modern sound, a 55-02 or for a more traditional tone either the 55-60 or DJ-5. All are 35" scale 5'ers in your price range.

Can't go wrong with a 5501 or a 5502. Really, for any genre.

Are the available in the UK?

Not many Lakland in the UK. Some pop up on the used market, I'll be looking at the Ibanez ATK for sure also. A smoother Stingray is what I've read... will be worth a look

Trippy orchestral pop??
