this makes me think of a Chris Rock bit... YOURE SUPPOSED TO GRADUATE!! WHATCHU WANNA COOKIE?? :D sorry thats alot of doe just for doing something youre supposed to do. but to each their own and if you got it like that then more power to you. glad everything worked out for you
 
2k for graduating High School? I hope my parents are this nice too, guess I'll find out next year ;). Anyways I'd knock the Ric off right of the bat because lets face it, you play jazz. I'd get a Warwick Thumb or one of some other sorts.
 
I`d say save the money, go out and play around on as many basses as you can find, and then buy something you like. Who knows, you may find your dream bass for a much lower price than $3,000, and could put the rest towards a bad@$$ amp!
 
How are you gonna play the blues when you don't have any 'hard times'? or conversely...threaten to leave school....then your parents might buy you an Alembic custom, just to make you stay at school....just a thought. I hope you appreciate how spoiled you are.

:rollno:Dude, why are you pissing in his Cheerios? Like you would say, "No, I don't deserve it." if your folks gave you two G's. Give me a break. :scowl:
