Has anybody here ever won anything in a gear pgiveaway?

I won this black Tele body from the now-defunct RockAudio.com when they had a Premier Guitar giveaway:

 

Surprisingly, quite a few members have. I asked a similar question recently.

I, unfortunately, have never won anything bass related. I have gotten some free merch from companies over the years though. I got strings from D'Addario, a shirt and jacket from Dingwall, and all kinds of kicknacks from the local retailer.

 

Mostly fishing for information for other promotions is what I think of giveaways.

 

I won a remote wifi mixer thing from a music store. You could mix your band from your phone. I gave it to our drummer, because it was his studio, and it was a pain for him to get up, navigate monitors and stands and junk, fix what was feeding back, and then return.

 

I haven’t but my previous singer actually won a small PA system. It was two QSC powered tops, stands, cables and a touch screen style mixer.

 

Two Steve Huey knives, & a Vortex rifle scope...but not online! No no no! Online is like the way Wayne & Garth would say...Fished In!

 

I won an acoustic guitar in a "Why Did You Start Playing Music" essay contest.

 

Back in the late 80s I won a Gibson giveaway...lots of accessories, cables, picks, ebows, t-shirts...nothing of real value or even bass related but it was cool.
Rock on.

 

The most valuable thing I've won from those raffles are bags of V-Picks.
Once the sampler set & another time I won my choice of two.

Also won a CD once, but it was entirely instrumental.
Not even sure what happened to that.

 

I won a night vision monocular from a now defunct outdoor website. The same site sent me a trail cam for free. My best luck is with gun tickets. Probably half the guns I own, I've won off a ticket or at a gun bash.

My wife won a Benelli Nova.
I won a pen with a laser pointer.

 

30-something years ago I won a Yamaha SE-200, their entry-level Strat-style electric guitar. I still have it.
