Interested in 13.5 mm (Ibanez SR) string spacing options

I'm a feller with smaller hands. I started on a Squire (Fender(ish)) P-Bass, got a Peavey Millennium BXP-5, then an Ibanez SR 755 and an Ibby SR 505. I've sold the Squire and Peavey and still own both Ibby's mostly due to the string spacing and 'playability'. As I'm interested in growing my arsenal, what basses play similar to the Ibby SR series?
 
I think you mean 16.5 mm string spacing. Both the SR755 and SR505 are listed as being 16.5 mm.

Several other factors impact how a bass feels to play even if bridge string spacing is held constant. Nut width, neck shape, fretboard radius, string selection, etc.

What price range are you looking for? There are many 5-string bases in the 16.5-17 mm spacing arena.
