Help - I need to change my 5-string

Peeps,
I went into the studio to record some songs this weekend and my Hohner Steinberger B2AV just did not cut the mustard :) . I've been a bit frustrated with it for a while now tbh. I've now started looking for a replacement.
I'm looking for another five with a narrow neck. We play your average birthday/wedding/pub gigs - standard musical prostitution really!
I've been drawn towards Spectors initially. Is there anything to look out for with these? Are there other makes/models worth looking at as well.
Thanks in anticipation.

I got a Spector Legend Custom recently and the neck is really comfy. On a par with the Status 5 strings I owned easily. The sound is a different beast from those entirely, more punch and warmth, less sizzle. Which I prefer, I think!

Hitting all the possible narrow/thin requirements (and nothing to do with me re sale):
