I’ve been searching for a Stingray 5 fretless neck and now want to know if anyone out there has experience with a Status Graphite fretless neck on their Stingray 5? Anyone?

Yup
Three of them
Recent ones have a different neck profile.
I like the older profile better

You’ve had 3 different Status fretless 5 string necks on your Stingray? I’m curious about the difference in profiles. I see that Status offers various nut widths on the j-bass style 4 string necks, but didn’t see anything about neck profiles. Have you any info?
They have no options available for the profile, I believe they just changed the molds to what they’re currently using
As far as fretless necks go , I’ve only used modulus, Back in the day when they would actually sell you a replacement neck. Graphite neck with the phenolic fingerboard will really sing
I personally think they are the best for fretless

My thoughts exactly, I like the idea of the fretless Status neck for this Stingray 5 primarily because of my fondness for the Modulus basses I've had for decades. I think you assisted me in the best way by mentioning Modulus and I'll stop overthinking it and just get one ordered. Thanks for sharing your info!
