Win a Bass, Build a School

With over 50 prizes, now you have a better chance than ever before to be one of our lucky winners…

Scott smiling

Every year, we like to rally the bass community and do something to help out those less fortunate.

So we host a giveaway to help raise money for our charity partner Pencils of Promise — at no additional cost to you. And it helps them build schools for children in under-resourced nations.

Plus it also helps new bass players find out about what we do here at SBL. Once again, completely free of charge.

We call it our annual Win a Bass, Build a School Giveaway. And this is actually the 5th anniversary.

So we decided we had to go BIG this year. And we had the crazy idea to give everything away…times five!

Plus we even added a one-of-a-kind grand prize that I’ll reveal at the end.

That means we will have more than 50 total winners this time. Which is nearly twice as many winners as any of our past giveaways.

And it means now you could be the lucky owner for one of these incredible prizes…

FAQ

What will happen to my donation? How will it be used?
To date, the SBL community has funded construction for two school sites in Laos. One in Houay Chanh and one in Lang Pha . Future donations will help fund builds in Laos, Ghanna, or Guatemala.
I'd love to enter, but I live [someplace far away]. Can I still win?
Yes! The giveaway is open to anybody, worldwide.
Is there any purchase necessary to enter?
There is no purchase necessary to enter. As you'll see on the entry form, there are several ways of entering the giveaway that don't require any purchase at all.
What if I don't win anything? How can I go on after that?
How do you go on!? I'm the one who has to give away all this amazing bass stuff!

In all seriousness, though, if you grab a trial to the membership and don't win, don't sweat it. We do giveaways in the membership all the time.

Oh, and you just might accidentally Level Up Your Bass Playing. That's not nothing ;)
What if I want to donate to building the school directly, and I'm not interested in the giveaway?
No problem! We've set up a campaign page on Pencils of Promise, where you can donate directly, and the donation will count toward our goal.

Just go here to donate directly.
What if I want to get maximum entries to the giveaway, but I'm already a member?
Our members can get just as many entries as the maximum non-members can collect.

Just check your email. We've sent you a secret code you can enter for some entries, and a link where, by answering a short survey (yes, it's okay if you've already answered it), you can get even more entries.

Between the two, you'll get just as many as non-members.
How will the winner be chosen and contacted?
After the end of the giveaway, we'll do a drawing weighted precisely by the number of entries for each person.

We'll announce the winner on a livestream to which we'll email you the link, then we'll email everybody the replay link.

We'll also contact the winners directly, so don't worry - if you've won you'll hear from us.
What if I want to grab a trial as a way to enter the giveaway and I want my donation to count? How should I do that?
If you want to level-up your bass playing and get instruction from a curated group of the best bass players and teachers on earth, you might want to grab a trial to the SBL Membership.

When you grab your free 14-day trial, you'll automatically get an email with a secret code you can enter in to claim your entries.

If you love the Membership and want your donation to count, just stick around past your trial, and we'll donate your entire first month's tuition (or an equivalent amount of your first year, if you choose the “yearly” plan) to Pencils of Promise.
