Anybody ever done VU-metering LEDs on the fingerboard?  A post in another thread got me thinking of this.  Have them display the pre-electronics levels, so that they light even when playing softly, or have it switchable.  I think it would look way cool.  Man oh man, I wish I'd win the lottery, then I could afford more of this stuff..  And Happy New Year everybody!!

I guess this is a wild idea, but I would like to see the side LED's work as an instrument tuner too.  THAT would be cool.

Mattheus,
Very cool.  I would love to see that.  The British guy wouldn't be Andy of Andy's Guitar Shop in Soho (27 Denmark Street), would it?  I visited his basement shop and got to play some of his basses in '79, and they were really nice.  He borrowed a lot of ideas from Alembic.  He did JPJ's setup work at the time, so he had easy access to many of Alembic's latest goodies..
