Bass - pretty well
Drums - ok enough to have played gigs in public.
Guitar - ok
Keyboards - good enough to record, but not good enough to play live
Sousaphone - was pretty good back when I played it.
Clarinet - can play in theory, but sounds like poop.

Bass - Very well
Guitar - Very well
Drums - not bad (could play live for basic rock type stuff, beyond that could get dicey)
Keyboards - so so (I use it mostly as a compositional tool)

Later

Pro Grade - Electric Bass

"Hobby" (able to jam but nothing I would charge for) - Upright Bass, hope to get this to Pro Grade someday

Good Enough to get my ideas across (but definitely not performance quality) - Acoustic Guitar, Drums

Barely Functional (I know the notes and that's about it) - Piano; really wish I would have kept up on this in my younger days

Also, from junior high through college days I played 6 years of French Horn and about 3 years of Tuba... and could probably get back up to performance quality on either of those but it would take a lot of work.

Bass - Good
Guitar - Good
Mando - Good
Banjo - meh (can play but not in a band situation without really practicing)
Drums - meh (I can hold a beat. I usually play for a few mins at church on the weekend just to mess around)

bass - professionally

guitar - professionally, but I'm a much better bassist than guitarist.

drums - used to be semi-decent back in high school & undergrad, now I'm just hopelessly out-of-practice.

keyboards - I can actually hang as the "orchestral cheese" synthesist in most contemporary pop bands, but I can't play piano or anything remotely like a meat&potatos keyboard part to save my life.

flute - I was considered a virtuoso as a 10 year old...and by the time I was 12 years old I sucked. I pick it up once every couple of years just to remind myself that I still suck.

Drums - started when I was about 8.. and reached my peak at 12... which was not good. I can hold a beat.

Guitar - I'm a very good rhythm player.. Not too technical..and don't ask me to play lead.

Bass - Very well

Piano/Keyboards - Does the intro to Final Countdown qualify?

Bass - still learning, but getting better.
Dulcimer - decent
Flute - played for 5 to 6 years in school, was pretty good; I recently picked up a new flute so I can get back into practice; we'll see if I can get anywhere near as good as I used to be...
Also have an autoharp somewhere, was decent on that, but it's not a very hard instrument to learn all in all.

Bass- fairly well, maybe even good.
Guitar- ok, good enough to write songs.
Keyboards- not as well as guitar, but I'm a badass with an analog synth. (knob twiddlin')
Trumpet- not as well as, say, 30 yrs ago.
Drums- fairly pathetic, but I do have fun.
Vocals- alright, decent backing vox.

Bass: Decent enough; though after more than 35 years, I should think I'd be better.
Acoustic Guitar: I know a few chords.
Wooden Flute: Good enough to entertain my little girl and myself.
Mountain Dulcimer: Well, I have fun.
Tibetan Singing Bowl: I'm awesome!! But, who isn't?

Bass - Very Well, and I damned well better after 35+ years

Major limitation is that I never learned to read
OTOH good knowledge of theory and a good ear helps overcome this most of the time

Guitar - Good

I write and play out regularly on a flat-top acoustic (fingerstyle)
Electric occasionally, but I wouldn't dare to try and make a living at it

Vox - Competent harmony and lead within my range

Keys - Very basic knowledge of the keyboard

Only enough to demo simple licks/chords and such

Open-hole flutes - Beginner level

Haven't touched 'em in years and would probably embarrass myself if I tried it in front of an audience
