I have a 15 watt Trace Elliot.... NOT GOOD FOR A BAND WITH THREE GUITARISTS.

true enough

what would happen if you bought it anyway? Could they, like, take your bass from you or something?

They have taken my basses away from me, as we speak. The question is, how would I get there?

Have you tried explaining to them that a 15W amp, even a GK, has no chance over 3 guitarists and a drummer? Also that it's your money you're spending?

Odd are they're really worried about you keeping them awake at nights with thunderous bass. Try promising to also get good quality headphones!

Um...why?

No, They aren't worried about headphones, I already have some nice ones...


They haven't even let me explain myself yet.



EDIT: They took them away because I am disrespectful and contrary.

Take them to band practice. After it, ask them if they heard the bass.

If they say yes, get a Roland :thumb:.

Hey Nisakss, anything new?

oh my god your parents are monsters!

Well you'll just have to convince them that you'd be a better son, student, friens,bass player etc WITH that amp.

And if that doesn't work, fraude your mom: tell her you love her just before you go to school. :thumb:

I tried that...

Hey everyone.

By the way, do I come across as disrespectful and contrary?

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]By the way, do I come across as disrespectful and contrary?[/QUOTE]

Not at all.

Hey FUNKN.

Anything new?

Ehhm Paul, how old are you really? It sounds like your parents are treating you like a 12 year old. Seriously though, can you not get at your own money? As far as I know you can set up a checking account that you have control over and access to by the time you're 16.

[QUOTE=PaulSimonon]I tried that...[/QUOTE]
****, then I don't know either.
Maybe try to be extra friendly and polite and get some good grades, chances are that in a week or three they let you get the amp.

Not really, though it is re-stringing time so kisss another pay check goodbye.

I'm almost 15.

Chances are, in a week or three, it'll be gone.

Do you have a music teacher? The only way to convince them that you really need the amp is by a musician* telling them so.

*As in one who earns his money from music.

well then, I guess life is just being a bitc for you.

And she's not really friendly for me neither...

Lets' kill Life

Yeah, I have a teacher, but he's at a different shop, and my parents have never talked to him.

Hmm...

Stop thinking about it. It will only cause more stress, concern, and trouble. Sit back, relax, and watch some "Whose Line?" to make your day better. Tomorrow is another day :).

Can't you put down a small deposit on the amp without your parents knowing? That way you might have a chance of getting it. What amp is it anyways?

I could put it in layaway for 100$ which I would get from selling my current amp. My parents wouldn't go for it.

Hey Radiobass, not much...just woke up, although I dind't get much sleep.....I stayed up all night surfing the net. What about you?

Hey everyone, 'sup? :wave:

Not much... I now love U2.


With or without you, although a simple line, has completely amazed me... which, in turn, amazed me because I was amazed by it.

:)

morning everyone

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]Not much... I now love U2.[/QUOTE]

I personally prefer their older stuff, but the newest single is pretty sweet :cool:

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]Not much... I now love U2.[/QUOTE]

I've always loved U2, since the first time I heard them, I think it was Pride. And their new album is just icredibly good. I love the bassline in A Man and a Women. :cool:
