What to do with $300?

something to keep in mind, if you want to purchase new... Musiciansfriend has their 15% off promo going (promo code "SUMMER"). but if you want to stretch that even further, go to music123 and find the same item, and click where it says "beat this price". you fill out the form mentioning MF's deal and the price to beat, several hours later you get an email with a quote beating that price by $5-$10. they'll try to throw in an extended warranty and some guitar picks, but you can remove them from your cart and still get the discounted price. i'm about to do this on a piece of recording gear, and i already have the quote in hand.
 
Thanks to everyone for their input, especially those who recommended CL. Got this great 5 string Jazz Bass for $300. The seller was less than 5 miles from me to even though I found him through a listing on another bass and on CL for a city that is 1.5 hours away.

Grats! Sweet buy!

That Ibanez ATK for $299 at Musician's Friend would have been a great deal too ($499 is regular price and what they cost everywhere else).

Thanks.
I really wanna play the ATK, they are great looking basses and I hear good things. I was looking to add something to expand my playing though that's why I was looking fretless or 5. I have only owned fretted 4 strings prior to this. I am psyched and already having a blast with this bass.
