<p>If I keep my current summer job for next summer & forgo doing a festival that year, I could make around $14K over the summer. Then, if I add that to the money I’ll get from selling my old bass ($10K), I would only have to make up between $4K and 6K which is doable. I may be able to borrow the difference from my parents. </p>
<p>I would be willing to forgo one summer in order to have this bass for the rest of my life. I could still try out for NYSOS for December, so it’s not like I wouldn’t have any bass stuff to do all year.</p>
