Jazz width neck on which other basses?

I'm a mature bassist and have almost exclusively played Fender Jazz basses because the neck feels ideal to me. Only recently have I toyed with the idea of trying another brand, and yesterday I learned that the Ibanez SR500 has a 1-1/2" neck and is also light weight and can be had used for about 300. I will probably try one out in a music store and I'd also like to check out other brands that suit my requirements. Although I'd prefer a passive bass, if that's not possible I'll settle for an active, such as the SR500. Your thoughts will be gratefully appreciated.
