What about purchasing a pedal or two? Some dirt pedals perhaps?

Then you can join the ranks of us who are always searching for THE next best dirt pedal. It never ends, and then you'll know what you want to waste your money on next time you have some burning a hole in your pocket.

I'd sell both basses, and with all the money get a good bass.

Whatever is left, go to lessons. Just imo.

Get some good pickups, and spend good money on them. For P pickups, I'd probably get some Delanos or Seymour Duncans.

Pickups? Seymour Duncan quarter pounders, '62 fender precision pups maybe?

Hipshot Dtuner

Straplocks

500k pots

That's what I'd go for.

Guitar Center can order you just about anything that they carry, and I know they have SD's. Not sure about Delanos.

Or you can spend your money on a Visa gift card and use that to purchase something online.

I've bought SD Quarter Pounders at Guitar Center. Didn't even have to order them, they just had 'em.
