gafbass02 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hah hah. No I'm a huge show off though. I use these: https://fretfx.com/ And Infact I'm the background pic on the testimonials page (thought I'd get that in there lol) Very happy with them. Preferred the older battery boxes though.

bubinga5 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 side LED's are useful... Dont like front LED's at all... i guess there a bit of fun, but i just cant see the point... i would want the stage to swallow me up if i had flashing lights on my bass... aaarrgghh.. just thought of it makes me cringe...

EmmettC Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 I think he wants them because of our flamboyant on stage look, they might suit this band, but I also play in other bands, and I don't like them generally so I'll skip it. This is how I dress on stage, probably not to most peoples taste either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 You can turn them off for more, er, "restrained" gigs surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziggydolphinboy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 i got them on the top of the neck of my sei 5 and they do help me as i have no markings on the fretboard, but i am trying to turn them off from time to time to get used to the neck. not sure about front ones on the board.

winterfire666 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 i love my green leds(front and side), although sometimes they are a bit much, they are essential on stage though, i can always see my bass! even when my extensive hair is in the way.

EmmettC Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 After a couple of years wearing a mask I don't really need to see the neck anymore, I'm just used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that as other have said you can switch them off when you don't need them and if your guitarist is prepared to pay for them to be done properly, I'd go for it. See if you can get a laser fitted to the headstock at the same time (especially good if you use a lot of dry ice in the stage show). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Not my bag, but I get why some like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 i love mine, don't see the point in having them if no-one else can see them. Mine are pink and they pulse and flash too From the pic they would certainly add something to the image, and if the workmanship is quality then good score on getting them for free. BUT it's your bass so do what the hell you like regardless of what others want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
