Thanks for helping me with deciding on my next bass !

Must be passive or have the option to switch from active to passive. Prefer short scale as I have small hands but if I have to make a sacrifice somewhere then standard scale.

I dont like woodgrain finishes.

I play a rnage of genres and current basses are Sterling ray34's.

Ive looked up the following:

Rapier Saffire

Schecter Banshee

Sire Marcus Miller

Budget is around £500 so any suggestions. I dont mind used but am very wary of scams so it sort of puts me off of ebay etc

Sire U5 probably a better fit. Squier Mustang classic vibe is another option.

[Lozz196]

Maybe one of these

You should be able to pick up a secondhand Fender PJ Player mustang for £500.

This would be my advice too.

Good choice. The mint version is also the only U5 with a matching headstock colour.
