New Bass? Anyone?

I guess I *did* make it sound like I'm getting a new bass because the input jack on my current one is acting up. Not true. My fault.
I just want a five string.
Also, any input on the SR5/SR7 differences?
NP! Ya just can't give me a straight line like that and not expect me to run with it.
I have 2 Ibanez Sr basses, the neck is so thin, my left hand cramps after playing for a few hours, although they do feel pretty nice.. +1 on the dead spots, on mine its the 3rd fret of the E string, and also there are many spots that are really loud, slightly annoying.... The "smoothness" has a lot to do with your fingers, or pick if that's how you roll -.- . I play really hard and I get quite a crisp sound, but with softer playing a mellower sound can be achieved. I would go with the Used Corvette, I just picked one up on ebay around an hour and a half ago for $760 
You'd think I would have learned how to cover my tracks better after growing up with an extrememly sarcastic and cynical father..
Just got a Musicman SB14, $450.00 on ebay and in new condition. Played Sunday in church and really sounded good, fit into the mix real well. One thing is it has a very narrow neck but fast.
Hmmm. I was a sarcastic and tyrannical father once too!
FIVE times, actually. Now I am a cynical and sarcastic grandfather - many times over.
