I've amassed $300.00ish in GC trying think what to buy.. I'm thinking a new Peterson tuner.. And pedal or three.. Dana picks..

I don't care what your opinion on the stores are..

I really had no choice on where the gift cards came from.. My family got them for me overtime.. And a couple layaways my brother never picked up or forgot about.. I haven't put anything else in layaway in a longtime.. Came back to me.. As well..

What would you maniacs buy..

A smarter family.. But the tuner is prolly the most needed.. I'm effect junky.. But I usually just tune by ear..
My 2003 p bass stock pickup.. Is bland.. But I use a growler on all the time..
I saw some lournberry pedals.. Organ grinder or the tall and fat.. Look cool..
Isp decimator mini looks cool
Mxr 95 phase mini is cool..
I have muffs fuzz faces.. Eventually a fuzz lord troglodyte-fuzz face green muff hybrid.. Will be mine.. The tall font.. I'd only buy used.
Many options.. To do..

Nothing wrong with tuning by ear. A skill sadly lacking in many young players.

But if you want a tuner, Sonic Research Turbo Tuner, or perhaps the new Peterson tuner.

Or how about a compressor, and/or a high pass filter? You know, basic bass player gadgets.

I'm set with fealabs stuff and a custom band pass.. I'm thinking a mini isp gate or a clean boost..

If you had 300.00 What would you get from guitarcenter?

Well, we're all different. I'm all set with compressors and HPFs too (Diamond, FEA, and now Broughton), but I could sure use a decent punchy yet "portable" cab, so I would put it towards a nice 2-by-10 cab. But you probably have that already.

How often do you change strings? When I played rounds, $300 would be about 10 gigs worth of strings.

The used Dean Exotica for $269.99.
The older ones with the Aphex system are getting harder to find.
