I've got loads of guitar books and stuff you can have if you want them?

DM and I'll chuck it in the post.

Hi Rhys. I'm in Cardiff too.

I have quite a lot of older kit that I could donate.

Bass cabs Trace Peavey
Studiomaster powered mixer

Amongst other things.

PM me if and when you have an idea of what may be needed.

This thread has just cheered me right up

What a truly superb thread, you guys make this community an absolute pleasure to be part of

[ahpook]

Brilliant

[ProfJames]

Just found this thread. What a great bunch of members. How is the centre getting along?

[RhysP]

It's going very well, thanks for asking. The guy that organises all the music stuff unfortunately left for another job at the end of January, but there is somebody else taking over running it soon.

I just gave a load of stuff to auction for a local Hospice other wise I would have sent it all up .what a nice thing to do .

In the spirit of Mark's original offer I'd like to offer this bass on the same terms, i.e., a good home with all the same caveats. I bought it from Tom (Tom1946), and it's very nice, but I have about 10 project basses, all Fender fit necks and bodies, that I was hoping I could chop and change this with, but it's not Fender fit (heel is far deeper). No idea what any of the parts are, but it's an alright bass and well worth the £175 I paid. Happy to courier

That's a very cool thing to do, Chris.

If someone deserving isn't able to collect this, I'm happy to pickup the cost of the courier. As you said previously, I don't see why you should get all the glory 😊

Ha ha, good man Mark, many thanks. This could go on and on!

I've had a couple of PMs from folks saying they'd like to have it as a raffle prize at upcoming bashes, but it worries me that on that basis it could end up only pulling in a few quid, and going to a BCer who'll probably end up selling it here again! To be honest I'd prefer it to go directly to a good cause rather than indirectly, I just like the idea of a needly kid somewhere having the bass, hope that makes sense?

PM sent, I know somewhere it would have a good home if it fits your criteria.

[Beedster]

Lost track of this, sorry folks, I know I received a PM but can't find it so please feel free to PM again and I'll get onto it

Cheers

No problem and many thanks for the very kind offer, it will make a big difference to a guitar/ bass club at a school for kids with a wide range of disabilities. Kit is always hard to come by so a donation like this really does impact in a massive way.

[tredders]

Don't forget that if it needs couriering (is that even a word?!), I'll pick up the cost, just as Chris did with my Steinberger. Chris - just let me know.

[T-Bay]

That is really kind, thanks again all.

Yep, there are some gems on here.

Quick update to say the bass safely arrived at its new home today. Massive thanks to Beedster for his generosity, it will make a big difference.
