My options for a new bass

Hi, im new
Ive been browsing ebay looking for a new bass, im on a budget, willing to spend around up to 1400AU tops, around 1200US [Im Australian]. my band is a funk rock sort of thing.
Ive always loved Musicman stingrays and sterlings, preferably with a maple neck. But ive also come across the G&L l2000 tribute, at an affordable price, and also a Modulus Quantum 4. My question about the modulus is, do the graphite necks give that peircing flea tone? and does anyone have any opinions on this modulus bass?
Or any other suggestions from what ive said
Thanks
