I am a student and waste my parents money, i agree they are not expensive but they are not cheap either, i cant afford them with my allowance, and i don’t want to ask my parents because i think that they are already troubled enough
Actually I have been saving money but at such a slow rate that it would probably take me like 2 years
I want to learn a bass guitar, in fact that’s why i took part in the function(concert) but i was let down spectacularly by my teachers (and somewhat my luck as well)
Edit: i realized that that the second part didn’t make sense My school has a bass guitar that no one uses
Hey, of course I don't know your financial capabilities and the height of your allowance but I encourage you to not give up on your intention to learn bass guitar.
I don't know where you're located and what possibilities you have to find used instruments but here in Germany you can find used bass guitars on a portal called "Kleinanzeigen" (the German equivalent to Craigslist I think) for very little money or for free. Just keep looking.
Also on our big instrument online shop "thomann.de" you find beginner bass guitars for less than 100 €. I am sure you find similarly cheap bass guitars where you live.
Long story short: Don't give up learning an instrument and have the courage to ask people around you to support you.
