What bass do I need??

A little history: I'm an experienced player, and am currently in a band - classic to modern rock, and a little R&B. We play out 1-3 times per month.I've had quite a few basses, but this is what I want... A passive 5 string bass that sounds like a Jazz, does NOT play like a Jazz. (maybe 18mm string spacing, and an non-Fenderlike neck). I have a 2008 American Jazz 5 that sits on the stand as I play my others. I love the sound of it, but after 3 sets, I'm worn out from the neck profile and string spacing. My Human Base X.OC5 neck is perfect, but I prefer the single coil tone, and want passive. 22 frets would be perfect, but 24 preferred over 20. Any clues??
Thanks.

 

Thanks. I've had an SR5. It burps, does not growl. I can't really see the Gibson pickup arrangement sounding like single coils. Neck looks awfully Fenderish, wide with 20 frets.

 

I don't know the diff in a C from a D neck. Whatever the American Jazz 5 is, not that. The MM Sr5 neck was pretty much perfect. Shaped like my X.OC5 but with 22 frets instead of 24. Come to think of it, an Sr5 neck, on a Bongo body (very comfortable to play), with passive single coils, is what I need. How's that for specs? Retail of $2500 is ok.
On the passive / active question - I'd rather not have to have a battery even if I could by-pass the pre. It's not a deal breaker though.

 

Wow. I forgot about the Big Al's. I will take a real hard look. I'd trade the Fender now toward one just to try it.
On the Dingwall's, I'd have to experience the fanned frets first for sure.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm glad I asked.
