Recommend on 5 string bass (soapbar) $1800-$2500

I’m having a Killer B Guitars Ronny Cates Signature Series bass getting built soon. Mine will be made out of Mahogany and a highly figured Koa top. The soapbar pickups are Nordstrand Big Blades. Here is Ronny’s personal one.

Hi guys, I’ve ordered a MARUSZCZYK Elwood L with an Alder body eye poplar top, roasted Birdseye maple neck and ebony fb. Hauessel jazzbucker and Delano 3band electronics. 35inch with 24 frets. Not a typical hardcore bass, but I believe I will love the sound and get some nasty sound with the active electronics. Thanks for everyone’s comment! I will post some pictures as soon as I receive it. Cheers!
