Does Anyone Have the Neck Pocket Dimensions of Music Man Stingray 5?

[Robbie Zhang]

I want to buy a status MM Stingray 5 bass neck and use it to make a 5 string jazz or bass.

If I use CNC to make the body, I think it is best to get the neck pocket CAD drawing, but I cannot find one anywhere through the internet. Is that a secret for them? And for 30 years, it is still a secret?

I found some specs on the official web that might help. the nut width is 1.75in and the width of the last (22nd) fret is 2.75in. And Stingray 5 has a flat neck heel which made the issue much easier. Those helped me with this CAD: (pic1.png, pic2.png)

 

I had emailed Status, but they only say that the distance from the last fret to the neck heel is ABOUT 13mm or ABOUT 1/2in... No approximate numbers please orz. 0.3mm is not a small number in this work.

 

However, when I asked for the exact dimension, So, I need your help. Can anyone provide an exact number, please? Thanks a lot!

Buy the neck first then use that as the template? You’ll get 100% fit then, otherwise you will need at least 3 people to give you good measurements
