LOL. Yeah, this worked out to be about a drop every 3 frets. Yes, applied with a cloth.
Doctor Duckās Ax Wax. Have had the same bottle of it for decades.

I couldnāt handle the SS rounds on my 734 anymore. Iāve been not playing it for the past month because I viscerally hated those strings. The feel, the soundā¦ total package of suck. I picked up a set of my tride and true GHS pressurewounds and just threw those on and shitcan the SITās. Night and day difference. Bonus, the black silk on those matching with the headstock looks so nice. Canāt wait to sit down and dig back in with my BB this evening.

Normal stainless strings are too bright even for me.
Iām loving the stainless steel Elixirs though - feel great and sound very post-punk.

I keep wanting to try Elixirās on a bass, Iāve got them on my Les Paul and theyāre awesome. I was frustrated and wanted a known quantity this time around so I went with the pressurewounds since I know them and love them. 3/5 basses are running them now, and I think they are perfect for that BB. Really easy to EQ for whatever sound you want which is already a strength of the 734.

Yeah if you have a string that works for you, keep going with it
The BB will sound good with almost anything, itās super versatile.

Thanks for the reminder! Iāve been trying to get used to the DR Hi-Beams I got with my BB and I just donāt like the way they feel on my fingers. Time to actually install the DāAddario NYXL set I get to replace them.

And so it begins - time to address a few high fret (spots). Itās not sprout as I checked with .004 feeler gauge. Shouldnāt have to remove much but Iām tired of having to play with high action.

Yay. Well done. This is something everyone should learn to do, itās much easier than it looks.

Hereās a pic in process. All done now though and strung a set of new strings. Got low-med action and no fret buzz!

Awesome, well done.
You probably donāt even need to bother with the tape; most fretboard scuffs from spot-leveling will polish or sand out in my experience. Itās a good idea until youāre confident with that though.

Did you replace the frets or just level them?
What exactly did you do and how?
I have no fret issues at all, but Iām curious how to do whatever you did

Great job! Scary to start that process but now you arenāt dependent on somebody else to customize your playing experience.
