EBS_freak Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 A friend of mine, a great player in fact, has a tatty, yet functional 410 SWR Goliath cab that he wants to see land in the hands of somebody or maybe an organisation for struggling players that would otherwise have not got access to gear... Please don't see this as an opportunity to bag some free gear to flip for a profit... or a way of getting gear that won't actually make any significant difference to your life. Lets do the right thing and find it a home where it can get used and help put a smile on people's faces. He's Birmingham based and willing to drop it off if local. Any ideas? Quote
Len_derby Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I was in a similar position with a guitar combo I wasn't using. I gave it to a nearby pub who run a regular open mic that is particularly welcoming to newbies. Quote
DJpullchord Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 What a good gesture. How about a local high school? Quote
SICbass Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 There was a thread here some time back from someone who was running a youth-club (do we even say that anymore?) looking for stuff. I‘ll try and find it.... Quote
leftybassman392 Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 I was going to suggest a school as well. May be a bit OTT for their needs is the only query. Quote
lojo Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I help at a youth club (since the council pulled the funding 2 years ago) , yep still called Youth Clubs and they are always in need of equipment. Quote
scalpy Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 I have a 410 in my classroom, I’m sure a local school would be happy to have it. It’ll need to be pretty robust! Quote

fretmeister Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Is there a local Music and Performing Arts Trust? There's one near me in Northants and they are always on the lookout for stuff the kids can use. Quote

Don't know - there's lots of people there. A guy called Peter is the over all boss, but then there are dept heads for the various instruments and the like. There's the HQ in town, but then they also run Saturday morning centres all across the county using schools as the venues. I play at one of them every Saturday. Quote
leftybassman392 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 K. Thanks for getting back to me. Quote
fretmeister Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Did you need something finding out? Quote
leftybassman392 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 No it's ok, just that she used to be a colleague when I worked in Northants. Curious to know what she's up to these days is all. Quote
