Thinking about it on a small scale instrument and about the look can you see if you could place the fretlne marker on the side of the neck but with no invasion of the front of the fretboard. So when you look at the bass front on you have a plain clean ebony fretless board but when you look on the side of the neck there are clear but small fretlines for full reference of all frets to be seen. I know I have my LEDs on the fretline and at those points I guess no need for any line. I hope this makes sense. Let me know what can be done.

They may not check this thread before they start putting in the lines. Good choice! mikekyz New Username: mikekyz Post Number: 6 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, October 12, 2006 - 5:53 am:    Thanks Adrian bkbass Intermediate Member Username: bkbass Post Number: 114 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 12, 2006 - 7:08 am:    mikekyz, Alembic makes ghost fret side markers leaving the front clean,look at my featured custom of the month for February 2005 "JELLY". mikekyz New Username: mikekyz Post Number: 7 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, October 12, 2006 - 7:10 am:    Top man BK thanks for this. mikekyz New Username: mikekyz Post Number: 9 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Thursday, October 12, 2006 - 4:32 pm:    Decided to go with Ghost Markers rather than full fretline on the fretboard. The dot and LED positioning remains the same.

This means when I look down at the side of the neck I will have LED at FL1, Ghost Marker FL2 and LED at FL3 etc etc. cheers M
