ok, since everyone knows TB is the best place to get advice, what do I want to buy with a 50 dollar Guitar Center gift card?

Strings, cables, tuner/metronome

A strap, xlr cables, a dc brick or an adapter that can consolidate wall wartage.

dependent on yer skill level, maybe a book on scales and the like,

a pack or two of strings,

a REAL nice strap,

a multi-bass stand,

a good stage tuner,

peek around on the online store for suggestions in that price bracket.

Sell it on CL and use the money to buy a ticket to a baseball game.

the last suggestion sounds like a valid idea, but I think I'll get a couple books

+1 to a nice strap. I used cheapies for years. Bought a yamaha air cell strap which got stolen and now that they are discontinued, I cry once in awhile. Now Im using a levys 4 1/2 padded, I could never go back to a cheapy. SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE

well, turned out I got a Musician's Gear hard case and not books, but I probably will get books next time.
