Sure. As you play you will notice nuances about the bass that you like or don't like. My advice would be to keep playing and pay attention to how the bass feels. Is it going out of tune a lot? Are the frets to wide? Too narrow? Is the neck to thick? Too thin? Understanding this will allow you to know what you would like for a future bass. Then, when the time is right, go to a store and try several different baases. I am a firm believer that when you find the one you like, you'll know. It will just feel comfortable and "right" to play. My son started on rocksmith with a inexpensive guitar and we recently bought him a more expensive one. He tried several and just liked the feel of the one he chose. As a result, he plays a lot more. So keep playing and you'll know when it's time. They key is to playing. Technique is never wasted on lower end gear and you may find that once you get a higher level instrument that you can play it with greater ease. My thoughts anyway. Hope it helps.
