I slept on it and I think I’ll just hold off on the used 734. I want the red one, so I’ll just wait and do it next month.

I told my wife while we were putting sheets on the bed that I got you back for enabling GAS, to which she asked if I got the bass. Said no, checked Sweetwater and there was the open box for $100 off the normal price and figured fate was telling me something.

I want to meet the woman/man who signed up for a forum account to ask/get bass gift ideas for their significant other.
That person deserves lots of hearts and sainthood

Excellent! I waffled between that and the new GX-10. Ultimately I went with the GX so that I can go USB-C into my macbook and fiddle with it through tone studio without having to kneel down.

TBH - I doubt mine is gonna spend much time on the floor… as I have no aspirations of being a gigging bassist… I have a nice plot set up for it on my table… right in front of where I do my learning 
LOL
Edit: The revision of the GT-1B has that USB link to PC now for patch editing
meanwhile yeah my characters are squished to L50

So the 734, I assume it’s going to come with rounds on it? I’m debating trying a set of light gauge (40 - 96) pressure wounds. Would I be better off with mediums?

Yes it comes with D’Addario EXL .45-100’s. These are excellent rounds.
I’m just not a fan of any of the rounds I’ve played on. I almost sold my Reverend until I put GHS’s on. The same way you are with flats, I am with rounds (sensory thing).

Many new basses come with D’Addario rounds. I replace them right away. I don’t like their feel. Not because they’re rounds but because they feel coarse.
I replace them with much smoother round core strings: SIT Foundations, DR Pure Blues, or my fave TI Jazz Rounds. The TI are the absolute smoothest feeling and they sound and play great for a really long time.

Before you write them all off, maybe try a coated round like Elixirs? Understood though, flats will sound great and very classic on a BB.

Between the SIT’s and DR Blues, which one is going to feel smoother on the fingers in your opinion? My issue with round wounds is that I don’t like the roughness of them so maybe trying a cheap round core roundwound might do the trick. At $20 it isn’t as big of an investment to experiment as the TI’s.

I tried those before I settled on the GHS pressurewounds. Only set of strings I’ve taken off and thrown away within a week. They have the worst sound qualities of rounds and flats. They sounded dead out of the package, but not in the cool broken in flatwounds kind of way.
