    Portland OR scene?

    Been out of the Portland scene for about 3 years. It was very much pay to play/play for drinks at best. It sucked and none of the clubs ever promoted anything or anyone. It was mostly bands playing for other bands. We played Red Room, Ash St., West Slope and Dantes. I'm looking to put together...

    Effective ways of learning the notes on the bass?

    just go up and down the fret board on each string and say the notes out loud as you press each note. Do this everyday for a week and you'll have it. Worked for me. After a week, my teacher could randomly point to any note on the fret board and I could name it. Eventually, you'll "see" the notes...

    Peavey Mark IV head and 1820 cab question

    I'm wondering if this rig is worth trading for. I'm a converted guitar player and already have a decent rig that I play out with. I posted my guitar head and cab on CL looking for trades.

    Fender Precision with dual pups..?

    Just got a hold of the guy selling it...turns out it's already sold..bummer. He let it go for $250. If he would have been closer, I would have tried to snag it last night. Oh well, I'll save my $$$ for my trip to Buffalo next week. Maybe I'll find something interesting there.

    Fender Precision with dual pups..?

    Hey fellow TB'rs, I just spotted this bass on CL and thought it looked interesting. I'm going to call the guy tomorrow, but in the mean time.... Have any of you seen a bass like this before? Is it worth the drive (he's 2 hours away) or is it just a homemade jobber? At first I thought it...

    have you ever smuggled some bass gear into you house?

    +1 My wife always pays attention to the big stuff. She generally doesn't care as long we have the extra cash. But she does hold it against me and always asks when am I taking her shopping. If it's been awhile and a few purchases down the road, she'll start listing off everything she is owed...

    Oregon Bassist's Club!

    That's all I did when I started out. It fit for the music we played anyway. You don't have be fancy or complicated to have a good time. Cool, not sure if I can get there that early, but I'll definately stop by. Hopefully you'll still be on stage when I get there.
