Warwick Streamer Transform! Or buy a guitar?

Soo, in medias res:
The neck is warped slightly (action slightly high cuz of it)
Truss rod not functional (action slightly high cuz of it)
I want a change/morestrings
There are a few options I was considering.
#1: Convert it to headless 5 string bassVI-like thing with shorter scale (provided I can get away with the 5string bridge spacing on this neck)
#2: Get 5 Monorail bridges and drill a hole on the headstock for an extra tuner.
#3: Get a new 30' neck and Monorails (cuz the bridge replacement is kinda weird for a warwick) Here I can go bassVI style.
#4: Buy a guitar. Leave the bass as it is.
Well the pickups are P/J, I like them as they are, but was thinking of a mudbucker just between the P and neck - but this is luxury atm. Just trying to see which route I will go. I think I am kinda sick/bored of bass and I want to change something. I feel uninspired on bass atm, that's why there's the option to buy the guitar. (Think I'll miss the low end tho, but idk, could fatter strings and tunings fatten/open the low end for a guitar?)
I'd also like to sand the honey color off and stain the wood (flame maple I think it is). I may do it regardless of the rest
I'd love to hear ur thoughts cuz I feel a bit lost. Don't have enough experience with guitars to have a feel of it.
