    I used to play guitar some, but I've always been too lazy to practice much.

    Bass guitar.

    Been playing for 7 years already, my parents first bought me acoustic guitar and their ultimatum was to learn acoustic first before buying me electric bass... Sold the acoustic after 3 weeks, couldn't stand playing it, got a bass after one year and rocking it since

    On any given day, I play a combination of:
    Guitar
    Piano
    Recorder
    Violin
    Bass
    Kazoo
    Melodica
    Lap harp
    Autoharp
    Drums of various shapes and sizes
    Percussion (triangle, cymbals, guiro, agogo, cowbell, etc.)

    Plus I sing with a professional opera company, rehearsal three nights a week.

    Plus I direct music for a church, leading the adult, youth, and handbell choirs.

    I stay busy. :grin:

    Electric bass for ~25 years, upright bass for ~10 years, and electric guitar for ~ 8 years. Work gets in the way of steady practicing and performing these days.

    Played alto saxaphone in middle school and was really good at it (first chair all-city), but just didn't care enough about it to continue playing into high school. I can still pick it up and stumble through some scales and songs, but that's about it at this point.

    Other than that, I mess around on my guitar and keyboard sometimes, but by no means do I "know how to play" them.

    I play Acoustic and Electric guitar nearly on an every day basis.

    Also have a keyboard I mess around on from time to time. Used to play piano when I was a kid.

    I'm the lead vocalist in our band, I play the acoustic and electric guitars regularly, and I play piano and violin every now and then. I picked up a didgeridoo when I was in Australia last year, and am trying to learn how to play it. I'm also in the process of getting a sitar shipped from India as we speak.

    guitar, although its extremely boring to play lead without a loop station of some sort. I like playing rythm more anyways

    Professionally - Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet

    Recreationally - Guitar, Piano

    I'm thinking of picking up bass. It seems that there are a lot of ****ty bass players out there and there's always a need for a good one. I already know my way around a fretboard and can read music in bass clef and can do more than thump out the roots of chords and simple arpeggios.
