Im planning to get then neck of my old 4 stringer changed to a neck of a 5 stringer and also get it made as a fretless (while keeping the same body).but obviously ill have to get a new bridge and strings and pickups............anybody tried this out??

Go ahead, try it out. Just don't do it to the bass you cannot live without.

Ive never tried it, or heard of it, but if you want your bass setup like that, i suggest getting a pro to do it, or speaking to a pro about it.. you will mostly find a bass pro in a big music store (guitar/bass drum store).. and he should be able to help you out with that.. it might cost a fair bit (even so much you might aswell get a new fretless 5 string.. up to you)

if i do it ill be getting it done by a pro

a prob heer is that there are no fretless available..otherwise i would have got that.one thing good is that it wouldnt really cost a lot here

The neck of a four string is thinner that the neck of a 5 string. That means that if you do his, you'll have the strings closer together than they are on a regular 5 string. That's bad.
