Maintenance


Changed the strings on my guitar today, plus some clean-up you have to do once in a while--scrubbing the fretboard. Also dressed the first fret to alleviate some buzzing on the open E bass. You can so this by raising the nut, or gluing the groove flat and re-filing it, or if it's not bad, polishing the fret wire itself, using a nail file and buffing it. This is the easiest and quickest, and it worked fine.

I'll be retuning frequently for the next several sessions, but it will sound ever so much better once the strings settle in.
