New DR neon strings

I'm playing a big crazy show on Saturday. Nine bands playing songs by Ween to commemorate 20 years since they released Chocolate and Cheese(best album cover of all time!). The show is going to be lit up with black lights so I relinquished my power slinkys and put a set of green neons on my old Yamaha. This will be the first time I ever dressed up my bass for a show!

I had plans to try out some neons but I'm not sure my new bass (black cherry) can pull any neons off. Black strings are about the only think I think will work with this finish. I thought the neon red may work, but I still think it may not look good. Will just have to hold off till I can pick up a 5 string.
 
Its all about the sound with me. I loved the looks of the Orange on my 75RI natural Fender Jazz but I did not like the feel and the squeak. The same squeak walking in the snow in the morning when it breaks thru. Or the same squeak walking on the sand on the beach. I played one show with them then took them off. Back to DR fat beams
