Need help spending $250.

Sign in to disble this ad
I was able to save $250 in June. I now must decide what to spend it on:

1. 30 minutes with a high priced call girl.

2. this collectible 8" Bowie by Aikin

4. A rare, but not in demand, c. 2000 BC Rich Innovator 4 string bass (green flame maple top, 2 EMG hummers, 2 band EQ, 35") that looks like a Schecter C4 or a Fender Aerodyne - not like a medieval weapon.

5. Another effects pedal for bass.
I think it was Rudyard Kipling who wrote: "One can never have too many pedals."

I already have these pedals:
> SansAmp BDDI
> Devi Evers Dark Boost
> Micro POG and Boss OC-3
> Boss ODB-3:
> Melowtone Trumpeteer
> Fuzhugger Arc Flash
> RAT2
> MXR M86 Classic Distortion
> MXR Van Hallen Phaser
> Ibanez Airplane Flanger in the mail

My wife will not let me spend over $250 - even on choice #1

I need

You think that $250 for 30 minutes is high priced?

If I have to help, fine...

You take 15 minutes with the call girl,

I'll take the other 125 and buy an SX (minus shipping of course).

How's that for helping you spend $250?

Pedal. Although I always wanted to buy a BC RICH but one that WAS shaped like a weapon.

The answer is obvious:

Pudding.




(and you'd still have $10 left over)

6. Give the $250 to TheMutt

Honestly, I'd vote #5 which is pretty obvious with where you're asking.
As for what to buy... well there's a slew of stuff I continually GAS for, what would you be GASing for currently?

With $250, I'd personally get myself a Stereo Memory Man w/Hazarai despite option #1 Just my opinion this.
