In search of my new 5 stringer...

I've been trying to choose a new bass for 2 months now, and I just can't decide.

I'm currently playing a cort action V, and while it is comfortable to play, the sound quality is just not good enough. That's why I want to buy a higher quality bass.

I want a versatile 5 string bass, equally capable of being aggressive and smooth and thumpy. I mostly play funk, acid jazz and jazz influenced electronic music.

My budget is 500-1000 euros (the lower the better of course).

The models I'm interested in as of now are :
Sterling by music man ray35
Warwick Corvette $$ (used)
Yamaha BB615

If you have any advice or want to suggest another model, please do so !

Thanks :)
