So, like an idiot, I sold what I would consider my "ultimate bass" about 10 years ago. (a Modulus Quantum 5 Sweet Spot) That has left me "bassless". Insert your own dad-joke here.

Now that I am recording again, I'm looking to get a new (to me) bass. Any thoughts on something in the $1k to $1.5k range? Cheaper is better, obviously.

Things I've been looking at:

1. Peavey Cirrus
2. Peavey GV
3. Tobias Growler

Any others?

Prefer a 35" scale for a tighter B. Like the Bartolini's and prefer an 18v active EQ over a 9v.

As far as amps, I would be using an SWR Baby Blue and a GK MS150.
 
How about this 5-string (no affiliation)?


I have a Brawley 4-string, and I like it a lot. Supposedly, all Brawleys were made in 35" scale (ask them to measure it to be sure, of course) which mine is. They made them in thru-neck and bolt neck variations, this one at GC is a thru-neck. Made in Korea, appears to be a 9-volt EQ due to the size of the battery cover, but again ask them to be sure. Just a thought. :)
