You'll waste that money if you're just itching to spend it.
I wish I did the same when I was your age.

I agree(for the most part, lol). But I have trouble saving cash too. If you really must spend it, and want a bass, there are many, many good and/or cool basses that you can buy for that(especially used), such as Rogues 8 string Custom(looks like a vintage 8'er). But if you want to improve the sound of what you've got, id recommend some effects. I like to use lots of them myself. Korg makes some processors with about 80 effects(40 preset mixes, 40 effects - you can mix effects and then save the setting), for about $40 to $50 at guitar center, and a Dunlop Crybaby bass wah never hurt anyone!

Spend it on some electronic stuff that you don't need. Make sure it makes noise and has lots of lights on it.

I chose the latter.

I don't know of any places that get 5.5 points on a multiple year CD. I don't know anywhere that does 3 month CDs, and if they did I'm sure the OP would see a single digit profit... CDs are nice but don't do much for small amounts. But guaranteed profit is guaranteed profit... All about risk and return.
Still, better than him spending it on something he doesn't really need or want.

I lost way too much money on impulse buys because I had money "burning a hole in my pocket"

- lessons
- a small active monitor
- lots of cables
- microphones - (for vocals, amps, instruments, studio)
- several good DI boxes
- bass stands and microphone stands
- really good earphones
- some nice bass effects
- Several packs of strings
- a good tuner like the boss TU-2, if you don't have one already
- Supporting membership on TB (I haven't payed because I'm not sure how easy/expensive it is to pay overseas...)
Bolded the things I would buy first. Always good to have.
