Every January, 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 that means this is your best chance in 2025 to win one nearly $55,000 in basses and other awesome prizes.

So don’t miss out... check out the incredible prizes below!

WIN A BASS - BUILD A SCHOOL

The Prize List Over 34K Badge

Check out these insane prizes you could take home as part of this giveaway right now!

01

1972 Fender Jazz Bass $8,000.00

This bass is from my personal collection. And I might shed a tear when I say goodbye to it! I’ve played hundreds of Jazz basses in the 3+ decades I’ve been playing bass. And this is in the top 2 all-time Jazz basses I’ve ever played. That’s how smooth and easy it is to play. (Not to mention the killer tone!)

02

Overwater Custom P Bass $5,000.00

This is another bass from my personal collection. It has a nice slim neck, but also has an extra flat fingerboard radius too. So it’s lightning fast and you can get the action super low!

On top of that, it features a reverse P pickup, which gives you a little more bite than the traditional P pickup. That’s because the E and A string coil are closer towards the bridge.

Plus it looks amazing with a beautiful Overwater bridge finished in a gorgeous gun metal grey. And it’s got a super-light alder body, so it’s perfect for the gigging bassist who doesn’t want a bass that feels like a piece of lead hanging around your neck for hours at a time!

03

1977 Musicman Stingray $6,500.00

This bass sounds like THUNDER. It’s by far the best Stingray I’ve ever played. And it also has the best neck I’ve ever felt out of ALL the basses I’ve played in my life. It’s outrageous!

Plus it’s got a beautiful sunburst finish, one piece maple neck, and is in amazing condition for its age.

04

1973 Rickenbacker $6,500.00

I sampled a whopping 12 Rickenbacker basses at Andy Baxter’s famous bass shop in the U.K. And this one was hands-down the best of the bunch!

Not only does it play like butter, it also has a beautiful Mapleglow finish … crushed pearl triangle inlays … checkerboard binding around the body … the classic toaster neck pickup ... and wavy Grover Crackerjack box tuners!

5x The Full-Stack Bassist Intensive $3,985.00 Total

This brand-new program shows you how to become the ultimate Full-Stack Bassist who can show up to any gig and play killer grooves on the spot. No solos, jazz fusion, or other “party tricks” — just a rock-solid command of your role as a bassist and member of the rhythm section, who can bring any song to life.

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!

FAQ

What will happen to my donation? How will it be used?
To date, the SBL community has funded construction for three school sites in Laos. Houay Chanh, Lang Pha and Houay Loung Theung. 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 January 28, 2025 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.
