It just encourages more creativity, more practise, more skill, more fine finger control, everything.
There’s also much more justification for owning another bass - although there is a lot of crossover, there are definitely some things which you can’t do on one of them.

It's been for sale for a while so an offer might be accepted.

With the cable tunnel cut as it is, there is plenty of room for a volume pot and multi-band active EQ.
If you don't want to cut a larger pickup aperture in the pickguard, an EMG-S or -SA would work. It should also function with any active EQ.

I was going to suggest the Squier Mikey Way Mustang Bass but it is discontinued. Pre-owned prices are getting silly.
In the end after much indecision and going round in circles I decided I really wanted something with a slim neck, relatively light, could do precision sounds but wasn't a one trick pony, and ideally short or at least medium scale.
I ummed and ahhed about just buying a CV Mustang but reports of patchy QC put me off and I think as a "one bass to do everything" guy it would be slightly limited. At some point I may pick up a second hand one. Then I strongly considered something like a P special, but they're all 34" scale.
Instead I kept coming back round to the Ibanez mezzo bass, specifically the five string one. The aesthetic grew on me, it ticks all my boxes, and I've not heard a bad word about them. So, job done. Just need to wait for stock to hit these shores now...
