Default Glow in the dark fretmarkers

is there 1 available or sold here locally or anyone knows how it can be done. a custom wick with LED fred markers cost a bomb and at gigs and shows, the damn place is dark and it would be lovely if i can see 'em frets.

any ideas?

this http://www.fretfx.com/

if you want to be super cheapo, do what i do

i bought one of those glow in the dark tapes, used a hole puncher to punch out little dots, pasted it over the fretboard inlays.

the glow in the dark tape can buy from those high class hardware store. i dunno where u live but the hardware stores at vivocity basement and parkway parade opposite giant got. some jepun brand

i don't think so. at most, if the glue is too mucky it will leave a gooey residue behind. but it can be cleaned away lah

fretfx will surely be cheaper than a custom wick though

how long will ur glow in the dark stickers last? if you've been to army, you should know they are practically useless. And how dark can your stage go? blackout dark? unless your intention is to go showy. But again.. to go showy, the stickers can at most reach 5meters away from the bass at full charge.
