MiltyG565 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Sorry, I've not yet dug out my old strings, but I will! I think I have a few guitar strings too which are still playable. I was going to string up an old guitar I was given with them, but a set of strings isn't expensive anyway, so some disadvantaged musician might as well have them. Quote
skej21 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I've got a box on the go at work but its taking a while to fill. Ill get it across ASAP! Quote
tayste_2000 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 No worries just sent across a big box this week so nothing will be going again till first week in September Quote
LiamPodmore Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Is the website down at the moment because i can't seem to access it (From Chrome or Firefox)? I have some sets somewhere that i can dig out and post off next week if i can get the address. Liam Quote
tayste_2000 Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 Appears so, I'm not actually part of that side but might help Janek out since I work for a web company. PM for the UK address if you want Quote
geoffbyrne Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Managed to get a small box with a few old sets into the post yesterday. I've tried to label what kind, length & if they are cut for 4 straight, 4x1, 3x2 etc. G. Edited August 3, 2013 by geoffbyrne Quote
urb Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 I've got a load I'm going to send this week - so good to know they can go to a good home! Quote
tayste_2000 Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 First box arrived with Janek,I believe this was roughly 30kg Quote
RandomBass Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Great idea, currently don't have any spare sets though. Recently gave all my back issues of BGM to the music department where my wife works as a TA with special needs kids. Seems they have so few resources to encourage them, and they love a music magazine to spark their minds. Good luck. Cheers Geoff Quote
dalehernando Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I have some to send! Will get them in the post when I can. I'm also going to post this on my Facebook so all my guitar friends see it and on my bands Facebook to get it out there a bit more Quote
lowdowner Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 Brilliant, brilliant idea. A set is on its way Quote
Evil Undead Posted August 25, 2013 Posted August 25, 2013 I've got another set that I will send on Tuesday. Quote
RhysP Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Just restrung my Spector - will put the old strings in the post asap (they're in pretty good nick). Quote
Cameronj279 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Don't change strings too often (would be changed every 2 months if they didnt cost so much) but both basses will be getting restrung soon. Shall donate them. Also shared the website to wherever I can find is relevant Quote
MiltyG565 Posted November 21, 2013 Posted November 21, 2013 Got a good few sets of strings here that friends have given me. I'll try and sort them and send them soon, probably before Monday. Quote
Telebass Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Four sets of essentially unused rounds on their way! Quote
Paul S Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 I just had a rummage through my drawer - got loads! I assume they'll get sorted? Quote
MiltyG565 Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Crap! I forgot about this! So sorry! I'll sort them out soon. I have a good little bundle to send! Quote
louisthebass Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Will send you a couple of used sets in the next week or so . Quote
tayste_2000 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 Ok, to give everyone an update on this I spoke to Janek recently and basically he's been absolutely overwhelmed by the response as have we to be honest. I've got 2 boxes here waiting to go out to him that will be sent probably March now and he's looking into bulk methods of shipping from him to the locations and has apparently got What I may start doing as the quality of strings varies is chucking the crap (I mean seriously people just sent us cut up strings that are of no use to anyone) and just sending across the neatly packaged and coiled ones. So if people want to continue sending the strings that's fine I'll be updating the facebook just to update everyone else. Quote
Urban Bassman Posted February 7, 2014 Posted February 7, 2014 I've been meaning to send some over for ages now. Must get off my butt and get them in the post Quote
MiltyG565 Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 After the longest period of procrastination, I've finally sorted out the mountain of strings I had gathered up. I'll post them off tomorrow morning. One jiffy bag rammed full of bass strings, and another full of these weird 6 string sets... Quote
Prosebass Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Just noticed this, what a great idea, so glad I didn't throw my box full in the old Prosebass shed. Quote
MiltyG565 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Sent! You should have them tomorrow morning Please do let me know when they arrive Quote
