Glow in the dark fretmarkers

[lordie]

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?

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 am more concern on the neck side ;p the little dots on the top not the inlay ;p but that hole puncher thingy is damn good idea!!

just wondering, will the stickers affect the sound of your guitar if pasted on the inlays? sry to hijack the tread

 

[shinobi]

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

wahahahaahah reminds me of that thread abt stickers affecting the tone of the geetar.

 

[shinobi]

the stickers don't affect lah...




it's the screws that affect the tone. especially those basses with pickguards

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.

glow in the dark fret markers...? why bother

now they have this new tech called 'fretmappe'.

what is 'fretmappe'?

'fretmappe' is an after market neck with built in LED lights on every fret for every note.
it come with a bundled software to link/sync with your computer via USB.
the connecton is at the heel of the neck and is almost unnoticeable.
bluetooth is also possible.

how it works?

just like you upload your ipod from itunes.
example, if you want to play 'through the fire & the flames' by dragon force, you upload to the fretmappe program (itunes compatible) then you connect the neck via USB and you get the notes, chords on the neck via LED lights.
you can select chords or solo. the playback speed is variable so you can learn at your own pace.
the neck has a built in memory of 4 GB ......that give you in mp3 format a shitload of songs.
the blutoooth (in ear) is to hear the song as you play it.

accessories include a 20 inch horizontal mirror to attach to the mike stand so that the LEDS can be sighted during performance.

neck shapes and sizes like gibson, fender, PRS are available...even custom colours and specs.
