Sell a kidney?


What equpiment do you currently own?
What of that would you be prepared to part with?

And finally, what bass are you looking at?

Get a part time job of about 16 hours a week. That should sort you out in a couple of months on average I think... Possibly earlier.

Couple of months is a bit optomistic it think.

But part time job is they way to go i think.

Yeah, it would actually be longer, it depends how well paid the job is.

Well, im on minimum wage, for 18 year old, and i work 15 and half hours a waek, put some is time and half because i work sunday, and i only get £400 a month to so, so to make 3000, will take a good 6 months.

But, saying that, i dunno how the pay works and stuff in the states.

As I understand, your currency is worth almost double ours, so it'd be more like 1500-1800 pounds as opposed to 3000 dollars.

Alright, well if we say its double, then itll take 4 months on the pay i stated. But, im sure the pounds geting weeker agianst the doller.

Best bet is, finding out the US minimum wage, because its likly thats what you'll be on starting out, then how many hours you wanna do, and work out how many months itll take.

I think the exchange is about 1.25 Pounds/1 US Dollar?

Could be wrong though...

even though i believe the whole reason you made this thread is so we'll be like "ohh, what bass do you want for so much money" especially since you gave an exact price on it, but regardless, get job.

Try a bankjob, I'm sure you'd find some extra cash there.

a job is the best answer. get a job. a fulltime job.

working sucks. but its worth it to have what you want.
im working now to purchase a new amp and maybe more basses. then i can quit and play bass all day.
