Of the choices I would go with the Lemur. Being carved, it will probably be the best bass in the long-run. Lemur has a god reputation.
But PLEEEEEEEEEZ, don't expect to find your life partner on-line. You're in the Bay area, right? Go play some basses and buy the one that you like best. If none speak to you, go somewhere else and don't buy one until you know for sure. I bought my bass on-line from Upton and it is a nice bass for the money. But............it isn't something I'm going to grow old with.
I have played several basses at KC Strings. Among the same model and price, they ALL play and sound different. It's not like buying TV's unfortunately.
