"My Pig Hog Cables not only sound great show after show, they even look like they sound great! I love the color options combined with the durability at a price that feels vintage. Thank you for making these cables!!!"

Based out of Portland Oregon since 1991, Timmer Blakely is a first call bassist for multiple national artists in a variety of genres, music producer, record label owner, music teacher and consultant.

In February of  '26, Paul Gilbert's highly anticipated "WROC" album was released to rave reviews. Recorded with Doug Rappaport (Edgar Winter), Nick D'Virgilio (Genesis, Mr Big), and Timmer at Portland Oregon's legendary "Hallowed Halls" studio, the album features 13 Paul Gilbert original tunes inspired by the book "Washington's Rules of Conduct" and fully exemplifies Paul's brilliant and unique writing style of blending beautiful melodies with guitar acrobatics.

While Timmer sits well in the rock environment, his original pedigree is in blues in the form of tours/performances with Terry Evans, Ry Cooder, Bo Diddley, and harp master Jason Ricci to name a few. When not working with rock legends, Timmer is still first call bassist to several national touring and recording blues acts including Jonn Del Toro, Chad Rupp and the Sugar Roots, TJ Wong, The Revival Brothers, and more in addition to fronting Timmer’s Guitarmageddon. Timmer is a multiple time winner of the Cascade Blues Association’s prestigious “Muddy Award” in the “ bassist” category and multiple band categories.

Timmer founded Lightning In A Bottle Records, a Blues/Americana non profit label, in Portland in 2021 to harness and apply his experiences in a practical manner. LIABr‘s primary goal is to bring highly talented and motivated blues artists together under one roof to work as a coalition sharing resources, and with a strong focus on youth and mentoring. Currently LIABr has 25 artists across the United States.
