Paying it forward

mikeyrob73

It was more a case of folks offering up free stuff from their parts box etc then the recipient offers something up and so on

It will always derail a bit as the person offering, will not necessarily wan what is offered back…its a cracking idea though

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

Quoting myself here as a) I owe @TTony and apology as I sett him the wrong house number in my address so sending signed for would have made no difference in this instance, and b) need to thank Tony for being such a Gent, we got sorted on the end

I think what's being described above is a swap, and actually this thread isn't about making swaps. It's about one person offering something, regardless of what the next person chooses to offer, it's all about the spirit of giving, rather than receiving and a very nice idea it is too

Isn't the idea of pay it forward - take something and add something 'decent' back? ;-)

We all take something from FB

Could be more flexible than that. Just offer up !!

Agreed

Should really be moved to "Parts £" too

Just an update on my bits for offer, the singlecoils are gone but I’m due a shift through the parts box in prep for upcoming gigs so will update. I’ve got some Alpha/Gibson pots if anyone wants them, and a killswitch with green button. Will see what else is kicking around on the weekend!

It's about this, the spirit of giving. We've all got something sitting around,  not being used as much as it should, that someone else might benefit from and that we might not miss that much. Putting it on here is an easy way to make somebody else's life a bit brighter.

Nice one

Still have an Artec mini-humbucker-sized Filtertron up for grabs, and planning to take the humbucker pickups out of my Bullet Mustang if anyone's interested.

Anyone in need of a late 70s / 80s Leech 4×12 with 4 McKenzie 75 watt speakers. 8r mono or 2x16r stereo?
Pickup only from Sheffield for obvious reasons and it comes with a free gravitational field

Surely some Vogon Poetry also??

Apologies this has taken me so long. There's loads of reasons for that, but better late than never, I guess. I need to pay it forward for the pickups @TTony very kindly gifted me.

I'll cover all P+P costs, but it'll be snail mail and I'm probably not going to be able to post anything till later in the week, maybe even next weekend at this rate. Life just won't quit at the moment!

There's definitely more to come, but here's a few to at least get the ball rolling...

GONE - 21mm (internal diameter) Dunlop glass slide. Tried to use it then remembered I have fingers the size of a rolling pins, so this is basically brand new.

GONE - Two single coils. Believe these are from Korean Squier Strats, but no idea why one looks more worn than the other, but almost certainly from different guitars. One has a screw and spring missing. Might have a spare somewhere but I make no promises.

I've just popped these on the multimeter, and one of them is not showing any reading. Sadly, this freebie is now one 5.6k single coil, and one broken/fixable single coil.

Apologies!

Set of 3-a-side right-hand Jin-Ho tuners. Came off a rock solid 2002 Korean Ibanez that I've owned from new. Need a polish, and no screws, but all have collars and washers. These are heavy, well made machine heads!

I'll take the slide if it is still available @Slimbert ? I have been looking at getting one for a while! I'll pop you a dm with my address etc.
