Finally Found a 5er I am comfortable with

So.. I have blown talkbass up about, "Which 5 string bass should I buy??" Blah blah.. I took some advice. I didn't buy untill I played a few. What do you think about this.. I settled on the Ibanez SR405EQM in DragonEye Burst. It fit my $500 budget and plays beautifully. At first I bought a Sterling StingRay5.. Was too heave for me and man.. You just can get that warm depth without that neck pickup.. Anyways.. Here she is..

Do you know the string spacing? It looks wide by Ibanez standards.
