Ignore the avatar; I also have a real bass

If by 'puts' you mean divots, or depressions/low spots in the fingerboard's surface, it sounds to me like it need to be planed. A simple job but I would not do it myself. I'm sure more knowledgeable folks will soon chime in.

good idea. jürgen is a nice guy and very good luthier.
if you payed only 200€ for the bass, you have maybe saved some money to invest in a good professional setup.
