Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys,
I sold my books back to the school today and made $150 which isn`t half bad for only selling back 3 books that I bought used! 
Anyways, I feel like throwing caution to the wind and getting something for fun and I wanted to hear some suggestions people might have. I`m really open to anything - cheap guitars, effects pedals, used gear, cool nick-nacks, etc...
So yeah, if you had $150 to spend what would you get?
p.s I`ve kinda had my eyes on the Rogue Beatle Bass, so if anyone knows anyone who`s selling one let me know 
Edit
Just for reference my current effects are:
EHX Bass Muff Pi
Korg Pitchblack
MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe
Small Stone Nano
EHX Memory Boy

I need to start that when I turn 20 next year - $5,000 a year for 7 years and then I can basically just sit on the interest return I`ll be seeing till I hit 65. |

Give the money to your parents (if they initially bought your books).
