Well...

-What bass do you have now?
-What kind(s) of music do you play?
-What is your price range?
-What are you exactly looking for? Like, any specific brands/options/tones you want? For example, if you have a 4 string Precision Bass, maybe you want a 5 string bass of some sort, or a fretless? Tonal diversity is key.

Also, being good has nothing to do with it, really. :p

I would wait then. No point in buying something you will regret.

first of id like to say that the 205 is way out of my price range. But i think the 305 would work pretty well for me even though its a little under my price but i guess thats ok

205 is cheaper buddy

the dean edge is a fairly nice bass for the price or maybe some yammahas or even ltd's

Almost anything will be a big step up from a starter-pack squier. There are several decent 5er's in that price range. Yamaha RBX375, Ibanez SR305, etc.
