I have that sometimes as well on darker stages. I could see where those, situationally, could be quite helpful.

Welcome to The Nascar Bass
Genius. Get paid more for leasing top space than playing.
Not only that, but I can guarantee targeted marketing. Acne meds and condom ads when I play the prom gig, and Depends and Prep H when I do bingo night at the community center.
Please note this thread serves as documentation of my idea per USPTO. You can send your royalty checks to me directly...
On the subject of LEDs: I've always found them tacky. Not quite as tacky, however, as the wrong notes I sometimes play when the stage goes dark...

I actually emailed the seller. He originally had it listed as a 1987. But mine has a lower S/N and is a 1988. Looks like he updated the year in the title. As far as the BIN price, a bit steep. About double what I paid for my 1988 3 years ago.

Yep. He talks about it being "collectible". I'm sure that's why he thinks it's worth more.
Looks to me like one of those drop to sell stores and being that they get a % of the sale price they are probably fishing for someone who doesnt know the true value.
I think that it's not the same bass that the seller shows as part of the catalog.
Some bling for Vic's music room:

That's awesome! I may just have to get one.Some bling for Vic's music room:
Thing is, JimS is WAY more qualified than I to need one of these.

That is a beauty!
Thank you,
I had no intentions of buying a bass that day.
I went to Roger's shop to sell my vintage 4 on consignment.
I mentioned to Kevin, that I would be calling in a order on a new bass, and that I was interested in what was offered in green.
Thats when he mentioned he has a mint preowned modern 4 in a teal green which was about to be listed.
I guess it was meant to be.
She's a keeper, and I'm very happy I visited Sadowsky's shop that day.
I could see it being very distracting if you are playing on a poorly-lit stage, and the fret LEDs are the brightest light in the whole dive.Dude, when you root/five as wicked as I do, the 'notice' part just happens.
No, that was just as example of me typing fewer words than I was thinking. What I mean was that I could definitely get with the side dots if I were playing in the theatre district, I find the *front* dots a little too Steve Vai for my tastes. Especially as I tend to play pubs and smaller venues.
That and bright lights tend to confuse drunks.
