Need help deciding what bass guitar to get next

Thanks for all the comments guys. I see most of you are actually in favor of the Warwick RockBass $$ 4.

I have one last question:

Drop C (CGCF tuning)

Is this tuning held better in 34" long scale basses OR in the multiscale basses? What are the pros and cons of Drop C in a multiscale bass?

Or for Drop C it does not really matter? I guess not, all the hits in Drop C have the bass most probably in a regular 34" scale

The very low tuning would either point you to thicker strings or multiscale. That's why I'm leaning towards the Ibanez (vicariously)

I understand, I am just not able to bring myself to accept the visual appearance of the Ibanez basses. They are too much for me IYKWIM. I checked out the Ibanez SRMS720, it 33.5-34.5, the multiscale-ness is not too extreme. Will that extra 0.5 inch after the 34" make a big difference? Then I compare the price between the Ibanez SRMS720 (1.299 €) and the Spector 70th Anniv. NS Dim MS 4 Walnut (1.499 €) and I cannot justify getting the Ibanez over the Spector

The spector is also made in korea, whereas the Ibanez is made in indonesia.

Not sure if it makes a big difference in 2025.

If you mean that Puple-ish Spector (2nd To last) then HELL YEAH!!

Exactly !! A Dingwall or Spector will die the job. But also if you can afford one and find one , a Sterling DarkRay would be a good option as well.
If you need a lower cost option , Ibanez or Cort come to mind . They both make fan fret offerings that will give you that Dingwall vibe.
