    I've moved my stage position and now can't see the neck marker dots

    I had to move away from "my corner" because we put in PA cabs on a stand right in front of me. With that I couldn't hear my IEM. Or me. So we moved me to the back of the stage, next to the drums. A really good spot, as I can joke around with the drummer between songs (during practice of course)...

    Fretless Fretlines and Dots

    I've got a Tony Franklin Sig fretless P bass. It has no fretlines and has the dots where the lines would be. Logistics on the road made it necessary to get a backup, and I was able to get a fretless Jazz at a very nice price. It had fretlines and strangely enough my intonation was off. On the...

    Dots are where they belong, but they're not where they belong

    Went to a local Guitar Center tonight and saw an Ibanez SRH505F Fretless hanging on the wall. Looked pretty cool so I thought I'd try it. I noticed the side dots didn't align with the front dots, and that was really messing with my head. I did a quick survey and on ALL the other basses on the...

    "clay" dots on rosewood

    Side dots can be very hard to see in dim light conditions on stage, on my 64 reissue AVRI J bass. I bought stick on white dots off the internet but they didn't last on the gig. Anybody with ideas to brighten the side dots without converting the dots to actual white?

    Converting an unlined fretless with no dots to fretted with dots... how much could I expect to pay?

    I was browsing on Ebay, lately been thinking my next bass may be a Gibson Ripper. Not sure how it happened, but I've got the bug now. I think it was that thread last week on the unopened mint cherryburst Ripper. Something hatched in me (god, I need to stay away from here) and now scanning the...

    Installing Fretboard Dots In An Already Fretted Fingerboard? Anyone done this?

    I have a fretted neck (Fender style jazz neck. Maple with rosewood fingerboard.) that has no fingerboard dots/markers. I would like to install some. Anyone have input on doing this to an already fretted fingerboard? (It's more about a "stock look" than function of the markers.) Many Thanks.
