LED fret markers on a fiver?

Anyone tried fitting LEDs on a five string. Surely the fact you have an odd number of strings would mean the A string covers the LED making them a bit futile.

Working on a tribute band where the bassist uses them but plays a four string, but I am now trained to 5???? Hmmmmm decision decisions.

LEDs are only worth putting along the top edge side dots.

Number of strings is irrelevant.

This.

Side dots are useful, I cannot see the front of my fingerboard when I play. Can you?
Side dots are the same no matter the number of strings.

I have bright blue LEDs on one of my 5 strings - don't worry, you see them alright, far from futile... in fact, you wouldn't even know the string was above them.

The fact that you saved for it probably puts it out of my price range ;-)

Just after a cheapie for affect and maybe strapping to one of my others fivers body. I don't see masses of miles in a Limp Bizkit tribute anyway so don't want to invest a fortune.
