I know what I'm looking for but not what meets the criteria. I'm after a 5 string, 2 MM style humbuckers, active and if possible coil tapping/switching as per a Stingray, but also under £500. I've ruled out L2500 as too similar to what I have. Help me people !

I don't know of many sub-£500 active double MM basses. I know of three similar option with twin MM pickups:

Rockbass Double Buck - not active, but has series/parallel switching via push/pull pots.

Retrovibe RV5B - difficult to get hold of now also not active or without the series/parallel. If you got one second hand, you could spend the change from your £500 installing a pre-amp.

Fernandes Tremor 5X - I don't know if these are still in production but they were around £300, so you could spend the change from your £500 on installing a pre-amp. This demo sounded pretty nice:
