When completing my J Bass the kit comes with a P Bass style neck which meant dot fret markers.
Now I know fret markers make absolutely no difference as to how a guitar plays and this was my one indulgence to go for looks over function. And besides, I reckon a Jazzy looks much better with block fret markers, particularly on a Maple fret board.

To prevent the vinyl stickers showing signs of wear from normal playing I chose to add more layers of Tru Oil to protect them and keep them in place. Not sure how long they would stay on for if playing in hot and sweaty conditions hence why I would recommend sealing them down.
On my Swampy Tele as the maple neck & fret board were stained same as the body I felt it needed something different on the fret board. Contemplated glow in the dark powder to create my own dots but then stumbled across this metallic barbed wire sticker kit on Jockomo website....

CAUTION: The barbed wire sticker kit is a very thin piece of metal and does have sharp edges which meant I had to seal it under several layers of Tru Oil.
Photos of both to follow.
