^ Well upgrading from a Squier to an MIM you haven't played is inherently a bad choice...And i always look used if i can.

New 4-String or first 5-String?

how bout you buy a 5 string, and turn it into an tenor bass by getting rid of that gruesomely low B, moving the e a d g down, and putting the high c on there.
(I dont actually expect you to do this, but its a fun thought

Oh BTW, ive been at the MTD Kingston line, they sound good and i played an Artist once, don't remember it much but it was a nice bass.

Something else to consider: string spacing.
Personally, I like narrow spacing. Go figure, I've been playing Rick basses since '86, and my Peavey 5er has slightly more narrow spacing, and I find it even easier for fast runs using 3 or more strings.
I just find it easier to play quickly without having to move my right fingers as much.
I can't slap for beans, though, so that's not an issue, but that's just my personal preferences.
Everyone's different.
Just keep trying basses until you find the right one.
You'll know it when you play it.
Also, being patient means you'll save more money for the best bass for you.
Besides, you're only young, you have lots of time to change/improve/grow, etc.
