That's just bad economic thinking there, Brian.
You could have taken the bass, started a kick ass band, then made plenty of money to buy multiple bags of weed.
...or better yet, people would have smoked you up for free just because you were in a band.

I don't think Kay had an amp shop of their own, so that amp is probably made by someone like Danelectro or Gibson (Kalamazoo) or Supro... all of which would be pretty kick-ass to the right vintage amp guy. Lots of the Dano's were practically direct rip-offs of Fender designs, I LOVE my Silvertone 1482 15-watt.
I wouldn't throw it away just yet. Try a nice Tele into it, skip the Green Day covers in favor of some double-stop picking, you might be surprised. It's amazing how often your grandparents know what they're doing.

Ya know, those kinds of things can go either way. Might be worth asking
around on some vintage gear message boards. Some people pay a
nice bit for old Kays, Silvertones, etc.
Probably pushing, what, 3-5 Watts, Solid State?
Looking around the site there's some cool stuff on there. I like the
description for the section with the hockeystick headstock, 80s-types:
<b>Nasty, pointy, pud-pullers!</b>
We call 'em Krammits" -- heavy metal sticks that screech and squeal and
make god-awful noises. They should have been banned at the door, but
they were such good quality guitars, we had to offer the welcome mat.
There's probably 30 of these things hiding in the Subway inventory -- and
we hate 'em.
Crushed red pearl Night Swan, short (Gibson)-scale, ebony fretboard -- a
top-quality instrument. Three humbucking blue rock star "thang" with a star
on it -- so some dweeb named Ricky Sanborn would remember who he was.
Red Focus 5000 -- wanted to be the pointiest guitar on Planet Earth; it could
be a gruesome marshall arts weapon. Whoever designed this should be in a
padded cell. Bile yellow, black and white jerk-and-spurt models. These have
USA parts (I actually think the necks and bodies were made in Canada). Don't
let me look at these things another day! from $300.
