I play on a few big stages where the instrumentalists are in the back, 30 or more feet behind the singers. We don't get a lot of light back there - they like us to be kind of mysterious or something. Strap on a white bass, and the lighting guys will throw even less light on you, and you'll never see your neck dots. Dress in black, put in a dark bass, and you get enough light to see the dots on your neck.

I have a solution to the problem that may interest you. I put small fishing lure stickers on the edge of my fretboard and bent them over so they function both as fret markers and as side dots. Those stickers were designed to reflect light in low-light situations, and they work very well. And since they're visible from the front, they add a bit of stage presence.

I know this is a thread about white basses, please forgive the intrusion.

Still a good suggestion for any colour bass under low lighting stage conditions.
