Bass Upgrade

[Griffin Revell]

Alright guys I'm kinda new here but I hope this is the right place to post this message. I am considering upgrading to a better bass. Currently I am playing on a Shen 200 7/8 Willow and I am looking to get something a bit better. I have just started college so I figure that it would be a good idea to start looking around at my options. I know that Ken does not like Upton at all however other students here have had great success with them. Another name that I keep seeing is Solano. Really though, I'm open to any suggestions that you guys might have! Thanks in advance!
