Win a Bass, Build a School

NOW is your only chance in 2024 to win one of more than $34,000.00 in bass prizes…

Scott smiling

Every fall, 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 Back To School Bass Giveaway. Since this is also the time of year when kids are going back to school again.

And that means this is your only chance in 2024 to win one of more than $34,000 in basses, effects, and other awesome prizes.

So don’t miss out. Check out the insane prizes you could take home as part of this giveaway right now…

The Prizes

Dual Grand Prizes

I’m giving away not 1 but 2 basses from my personal collection. Both of these basses are custom, one-of-a-kind designs created to my exact specifications.

01

Warwick Custom Streamer 5 $5,000.00

I was so inspired by Stuart Zender from Jamiroquai, I had this bass made to replicate his signature sound! It’s got an amazing matte finish. (So it will hold up great on gigs.) Plus the neck-through neck construction feels, plays, and sounds incredible.

02

Manne Multi Bass $5,000.00

This bass was made for me by my friend and expert luthier Andrea Ballarin. And I’ve played it on a ton of gigs and sessions. Not only is it probably the sexiest-looking bass I’ve ever laid my hands on…but it’s also a joy to play. It’s a 6-string. But it also has a slightly shorter scale that makes it easier to navigate the entire neck.

Basses & Effects

03

Musicman Stingray ‘76 Reissue $4,000.00

This reissue is an absolute beast. The Stingray has that powerful humbucker sound that stands out from the crowd. (So it’s no wonder bass icons like Flea, Tim Commerford, and Louis Johnson all play a Stingray.)

Note: Actual bass may vary slightly from image

04

Strandberg Boden 5 $3,000.00

This bass is a design masterpiece. The neck alone blows my mind! Plus it’s got plenty of other innovations that explain why these basses are becoming more popular by the day.

05

1970s Fender Jazz $5,000.00

This is one of my favorite eras for the Fender Jazz Bass. Its tone has that incredible Marcus Miller vibe. So good!

01

3x Line 6 HX Stomps $2,100.00 Total

The Line 6 HX Stomp is the best and most portable multi-effects unit on the market today.

SBL Courses & Training

5x Lifetime SBL Memberships $5,000.00 Total

Enjoy access to all the game-changing material inside the SBL Membership — for the rest of your life!

5x SBL Ultimate All-Access Passes $5,000.00 Total

Get instant access to all past, present, and future Accelerator, Artist Masterclass, and Bootcamp courses. The current library already contains $1,376 in courses. Plus that value will only go up as we add more courses in the future. Which is why the SBL Ultimate All-Access Pass retails for $1,000.00.

That’s a total of over $34,000.00 in prizes

Warwick Custom Streamer 5 $5,000.00
Manne Multi Bass $5,000.00
Strandberg Boden 5 $3,000.00
Musicman Stingray ‘76 Reissue $4,000.00

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.
