Keep your Squire. Unless you are ready to spend at least $1000, you won't do much better. That's a great bass. Put some bright rounds on it, and I bet it will sound great.

Cant decide on my bass

i have a shecter elite 4 thats really nice. and IMHO its the best out of all the basses you listed, i shopped around for about a year before buying this bass.
Squire makes a great axe for the dough. I have students who have tried a lot of different solutions to the budget-bass challenge, and I really think the Squire is the best one I have seen. The students who have Squires will probably want new basses, at some point, but they will never get rid of their Squire because it isn't good enough.
One of my students recently picked up a Music Man. He looked at Peavey, Ibanez, B.C. Rich, Yamaha, and a bunch of others. I checked out some of these instruments, too. We agreed that while all of these manufacturers kick out some great instruments, there was not much meaningful increase in quality until he hit the next level. He decided (on his own) to wait and save his money until he could buy the Music Man, which was the right bass for him.
I think he made the right decision.

500$ isnt really budget used, worldfamousandy, and a 100$ is foing to sound loads better than a 50$ instrument, there is no comparison
