Hi Fellow TB'rs!
I have been a member for a quite awhile, but I have never posted a question in a forum. So, here is my first question ever. The Oregon bass! Does anyone on TB know anything about them and do they even exist any longer, anywhere? I only know of two Oregon Basses. The first one I...
This custom, USA handmade 4-String bass is Used and in Good Condition: it has been played and gigged regularly but has no cracks or major dents, just small finish dings/nicks on the body edges, headstock and back. The top is in Very Good condition with just light finish scratches and swirls...
I purchased a new Shen SB200 that had a repaired crack on the front of the body. The bass shop where I purchased it said it cracked shortly after arrival(citing it shipped across the country in sub-freezing temps and arrived during an ice storm), they repaired it and offered it for 5600, about...
While I have performed on bass live since joining TalkBass five years ago …
( … even getting in a Zoom gig mid-pandemic … )
… I hadn’t played original music in a club since I was barely old enough to even attend such shows—UNTIL LAST NIGHT! :woot:
It didn’t go down quite as I’d...
Hey all, I'm a newbie bass player from Salem Oregon, just making my introduction.
Way back in the day in grade school, I began playing in orchestra. I played the viola, and just before the start of eighth grade I transferred to the bass (double bass). I played the double bass in the eighth...
My favorite ‘80s and ‘90s solid state Peavey amplifiers all decided they need professional help at the same time :banghead: I just moved to Ashland, Oregon and don’t know anybody (at least not anybody that does amplifier repair). I haven’t had much luck with internet searches so far, so I...
Big shout out to @ChipDougl4s for the smokin' deal a few weeks back. Finally got my first ASAT and it is a screamer! Wonderful instrument. I've only played one ASAT quite a few years back and it had aced strings, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect but hot DAMN this thing is incredible...
I’ll be traveling from New York (Rochester) to Wilsonville (Portland), Oregon.
What are must sees for a bassist that loves live rock music?
Thanks ahead of time!

Hello! I’m pretty new here. I had once had an account a few years ago that I used sparingly, but I’m back now! I’m pretty active over on the SquierTalk forum, but this is the place to be for bass knowledge. I’m a native bassist (it’s my first & primary instrument that is), I love fretless and...
I am moving from Oregon to NYC for grad school and am trying to figure out the best way to move with my upright bass. I don't have a flight case and don't want to buy one because I will be in a tiny apartment. I can't rent one because it's a one-way trip. That kind of leaves out flying.
Is...
I'm selling my 8x10 Mesa bass cab. 1200w @ 4ohm. I've played through it the last couple years, and it's been a performer. So loud.
You can hear it here in a recording on the last album. This Mesa is on all tracks on the "Magnetic Fields of Radiant Light" album.
And also hear it live here...

The Matt Knight arena is really impressive. I'm rather astounded by how good everything sounds in here. Went with a friend who's father has season tickets but doesn't always go, so he invited me along. Rode the EMX for the first time to avoid parking. He said he saw the Eagles live there and...

Your ad should be in the Double Bass classifieds section of TalkBass, and not here (Bass Guitar classifieds). I can't see it getting much attention here, but certainly in the DB section.
We have dropped the price on this Shen Rogeri SB 300 Bass from $6,000 to $5,000. The bass was provided by a very generous donor in support of the Eugene Concert Choir.

This bass is beautiful in sound and appearance. It has a...
I have nothing to do with this listing but in researching Klira basses and reading comments on them here I figured I'd give a heads up to the Klira enthusiasts here.

One owner, $300. Seems like quite the deal.
Hi all,
I'd like to reach out to whoever may have an Aguilar DB210 on hand in Portland, Oregon. I would love to hear this cab, but I don't know of any dealers in Portland that will carry such a cab. If I could check out the sound somewhere in town, that would be cool. Let me know if you...
I'm in Portland for almost 3 weeks visiting family, and I was wondering if there are any music stores where I could expect to find lefty basses. Honestly, even a single bass would be worth the trip, considering it's basically impossible to find them at home.
I've donated my Shen Rogeri SB300 to the Eugene Concert Choir for they annual fund raiser auction.
It is a great sounding bass and comes with a Messina cover, which we all know are amazing.
There is a low reserve. So it is a chance to get a deal on this bass.
All the details of the auction can...
Up for sale is a barely used Garmin Oregon 650 GPS. I have had it for about 3 months and took it on a small hike once. Everything it came with is included and it works perfect. I decided to venture into the fitness/gps watch realm.
The only trade I would be interested in would be a Yamaha BB425X...
Hi all,
I hope this is in the right sub forum. I took lessons weekly back in college from a great teacher, but that was 15 years ago and I took a long time away from URB. I've been playing arco with my rock band a lot recently and I need some bow technique tune up badly. I can't find many...

Hi
Does anyone in Portland, Oregon know if Pete's double bass shop is still in business?
I need to hire a bass for a tour in February 2016 - I've emailed and called the shop, but there's been no reply.
If Pete's is closed, can any Portlanders recommend a shop where I can hire a bass for short...
Hi guys! Up for a sale is a really cool Marco MV 5 bass in a gorgeous blue burst finish. Marco basses are handmade masterpieces that are understandably creating a lot of buzz on TB and elsewhere. The bass has a great J-bass type tone capable of the classic back pickup growl as well as a deeper...
