Like the title says,I'm wondering if any other people here on talkbass play another instrument besides bass.
I play some keys aswell as bass,I'm a huge fan of The Doors. |

I picked up mandolin and keys from being in a Led Zeppelin Tribute. After a show at 3rd & Lindslay in Nashville, Roger Daltry came out of the shadows and said we did a great job. I'll never forget it!

I play a bit of Dobro, Guitar, Banjo and Ukulele too, but i wouldn't say i'm great at them.

| | | Hmmm, I play flute.  I love my flute~ Still trying to learn "Cannon in D". I love that song, so much. Some keys. Badly. Hey, I've come up with some decent songs on that ol' keyboard!
...I'll be playing French Horn next year for school. ;D |

| | | | I've always wanted to learn how to play blues harmonica aswell but it just seems so complicated. |

Man, when I was working on my MA in Ethnomusicology I played about two dozen instruments with a fair degree of competency... some of the instruments in the Javanese and Balinese gamelan orchestras I was REALLY good at. I've slacked off since those days!

Picked up bass because my youthgroup was looking for one.
I find the bass easier to practice (don't have to always be at full volume, etc.), so I find my self playing bass at home and the trumpet at school.
