Probably ruin the sound though.

Certain bodily fluids glow under black light.

When I was in the NG and we had to night fire, we'd break open the glow sticks and dab the front sight posts...

I dont' know how the chemicals will affect the strings and tone though. Might want to test it on a cheap bass and see if the tone holds for the few hours of giging.

Just a bad joke p-nut, and probably not something you'd want to do to your bass.

It occurs to me that plastic tapewound strings have the potential to be made from glow plastic. Send hints to manufacturers...
