I have bought them for 3 of my basses and am about to order another set. They are awesome. When you're on that dark stage... you can see where you are.

Correct, sorry if I was not clear on that, but the LEDS are Kool!

Here's what I use on all of my basses. I purchase white reflective tape at the hardware store. I then use a paper punch that sort of looks like a pair of pliers to punch out 1/4" dots, after I've removed the backing from the tape. I transfer the dots to the neck using an X-acto knife so I don't touch the adhesive.

The dots stay in place, but are removable and they're much easier to see in low light situations. Try it. It's cheap and it works.

I did it on an old Gibson Ripper many,many years ago, changingthe dots from white pearl to black dots........Works Great and dirt cheap !!

Great idea. I am going to try this on my fretless to quicken up the learning process.

Go back and check out the link Dr Eagle posted - these appear to be some sort of stick on LEDS!!

From the link:Now for the first time (due to recent advances in sub-miniature LED manufacturing technology), LED fret markers can simply be attached with no modifications necessary to an instrument at anytime after it has been completely assembled. FretFX is very proud to bring this enhancement to you, and at affordable prices, as it is long overdue that almost everyone can enjoy this feature!


I'd like to hear more about these....

Normal hand positionings or over the neck frettings are completely un-affected.
FretFX are virtually non-existant physically when playing your instrument while at the same time emitting bright stage lighting to give you great ACTIVE fret markers.
