NBD! I went on the internet and I found this (Sterling/Status content)

So I had incredible GAS for a fretless Stingray bass. I was looking for one when I found this oddball at the London Bass Gallery: Sterling Ray34 body, Kent Armstrong pickup, fretless Status neck. It was affordable and I lóve the look. So it arrived today and I absolutely love this bass. Great sound, preamp sounds great... I might replace the pickup with something more vintage sounding (any ideas? Nordstrand? Aguilar?) but I'm very happy so far. It's currently strung with D'Addario strings which I don't really like so I ordered some Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkies which should arrive tomorrow. Super siked!

Just seen this.. Excellent find!

So do the Status replacement necks fit the Ray3x basses nicely enough? crazily tempting as a project..

Yes, it states on the website that they do.  I fit a fretted Status neck to my USA SUB and it was as snug as a bug.

It fits like a glove. I am currently looking for a wood fretless neck though :) Not because the Status neck is bad; on the contrary, it's absolutely terrific, but I feel like I need wood ;) If it doesn't happen I'd still like this bass a lot. 

You can hear it with the Nordstrand pickup here (if the time stap doesn't work, start at 22:05).
