What is an instrument(s) you enjoy playing/learning when you are not playing/practicing bass?
For me:
Accordion baby!!!! Yeah baby! My prime love and instrument is bass but I am starting to learn accordion and my friend just landed me his. This thing is pretty hard, I still practice bass more so then this thing but I have to say, its fun!

But for me, nothing beats bass.  |

i play guitar and piano (a lame attempt at playing piano really) but i am trying to teach myself harmonica, tin whistle, ocarina, egg shaker, kazoo, and other randomly bought items.
i bought my girlfriend an xylophone a few weeks ago, she is already wailing on it and writing songs. |

Guitar is actually my first choice to pick up and play since I can combine singing and play alone. I play bass only with live bands and occasionally with CDs if I have to learn a new song.

I really want to learn how to play drums, and I wouldn't mind learning Classical Guitar. |

I'd also like to have a flute. I used to play really well, but my instrument got ruined in a flood.
I have a keyboard, which I almost never play. I used to be a good classical note-reader, but never *enjoyed* playing piano.
I like bass best!
