There might be but it will depend on which C/S bass you are referring to and they likely won't be on any pre-2006 basses.
IIRC I believe the graphite system is called Posiflex and I think it came out in '06.

The Posiflex system was introduced in 1995, many modern Custom Shop basses such as the American Classic Jazz Bass sported graphite neck reinforcements.

The Custom Shop would not use graphite rods in a recreation of an old Fender bass from before 1980.

The basses from the classic eras are true to form with single truss rods.
