Hey Tony, could I grab those black Wilkinson strat pickups please?  I've still got my Artec Mini-Humbucker-sized Filtertron up for grabs, and I might be able to find some more pickups in the box too. 

@Slimbert - you called dibs on those first, subject to the details that I added in the original post.  Still want them, or can I let them go to @joetele ?

Yes, I'd still like to take them, if possible.

I can send you the postage costs or collect them next time I'm passing. No idea when that might be though.

I've got a few bits to list, and I promise to give Joe first dibs on the pickups.

Sorry woodandwires that wasn’t meant to come over like you weren’t willing…….

Your "purchases" should be in the mail tomorrow.    What goodies have you managed to unearth at the back/bottom of your unused-stuff cupboards?

Quite a few bits and bobs, but a nasty ear infection has stopped play...I'll get 'em uploaded with photos in the next couple of days

Thanks, Tony.

Thank you Tony! I’ve got a few potentials, including a dummy coil and a Wilkinson 7.7k bridge Strat singlecoil!

No one have any info about us supporting a specific charity? If not I’ll send the money to cancer research…..

I don’t think there is an agreed charity. Usually people donate to the board running costs.

Almost ready to list a few things, just waiting for a sale to go through to see what I have left. Shouldn't be much longer!

Anybody want a us to uk converter / power transformer (ac to ac) for your US amp? It’s an Maplin model vr 05. Looks just like a mercury model 65.031 that’s on eBay for £49.69. 

No longer needed as my 1956 fender bassman just came back from the restorer after 6 long months and he kindly converted it to uk power. Sounds awesome. So if anyone has an amp cover for this that they no longer need (it's slightly smaller than a 59 bassman) that would be amazing / unlikely.

You’d have to pick it up from me in east Finchley, London. 

Edit: sorry, now gone

The charity tenner has now been PayPal'd (is that a verb) to Admin.

Cheers Guys

May I suggest when paying items forward you send signed for, the only item Ive ever managed to blag got lost in the post……

mikeyrob73

bumping this as its a shame to lose it 

lovestrat74

I think the thread lost its way a bit. Rather than a 1 in 1 out, it became a bit of a free for all and you lose track of what is going on

yes maybe 1in1 out is the way forward. Be a shame to lose something that was such a great idea.

Actually, there are a couple of people who had some of my offerings and have maybe forgotten to come back with an offering of their own ... that'd help bring the thread back to life

Having recently been on the receiving end of a fretboarder's massive kindness, I must say that I am still waiting for a good opportunity to pay it forward and keeping it going. If I understood the spirit correctly (I am not known for 'getting the gist' effortlessly!), this was more about helping someone in need than offering random free stuff? Please correct me if I'm wrong, and don't take my (possibly warped) perceptions as a criticism of any kind.
