Jbass46 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Did a search on this and nothing popped up so here's the question.....Does any body have any experience with either glow in the dark fret markers or the other "systems" that are out there. We did a gig this weekend and the lighting was horrible. There were only a few parts of the stage where my fret markers were visible - not good!! Got throught the gig okay but don't want to repeat that. I don't think I am inclined to go throught the expense or concerns realated to the fiber optic systems installed in the neck. I've seen everything online from the glow in the dark dots to laser set-ups. Just wondering if anyone has had any good or bad experiences with the "stick-on" systems and what they were. Thanks!!

Dave Martin Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 My buddy Anthony Joiner has a bass with lighted fret markers - it looked goofy as hell. Kinda fun, though....

The Geoff Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I know many of Mark King's basses have lights installed. http://www.level42.com/bassography.asp McG not Down Under "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the World will know Peace": Jimi Hendrix http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=738517&content=music The Geoff - blame Caevan!!!

jeremy c Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Has anyone here installed the fretfx (formerly known as HotDotz) markers? The blue ones would look awesome on my blue bass. Free download of my cd!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbass46 Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 Thanks for the responses so far. The fretfx system looks pretty cool. It's more expensive than the glow in the dark dots but probably more durable and reliable. I'm with Jeremy - has any body installed these and played with them on their bass??
