to get my guitars i did so:
stole my moms crappy acoustic for a while, just so i could figure stuff out on it
and my grandparents were gonna send my Uncle's old Gibson les paul back to him in cali, but i was like "uh.. no way. I'm taking it" and so i took it with me. its totally out of tune and missing 2 strings, but i only need two since i play bass Smile
and Im also teaching karate classes 3 times a week for like 2 and a half hours to wacked out 5 year olds for who-knows-how long to get a new bass and an amp. ughhh.
I may just stop eating for two or three weeks and babysit my ass off and get the stuff.

Well, thanks for input everybody. Very Happy

But, I think my mum has agreed to go halfs. For Christmas. IF I can get $130 before Christmas, she'll buy the other half. And, if I can't pay for a full half, then I work the rest off.
I have $116 now, so I'm not far off. Cool
