What other instruments do you play?

Sign in to disble this ad
If this has been asked before,my apologies but I was wondering what other instruments you play or dabble with besides bass?
I enjoy keyboards and just recently purchased a low end e-drum kit to mess around with.

Cheers all,
Doug

About 2 years ago I bought a low budget drum kit and I love it. I can play well enough and it was so satisfying to be able to learn it. Its still satisfying.

In January I decided to conquer one of my fears so I bought an acoustic guitar and that has been so satisfying and exciting. I love playing clean chords with a nice soft pick and try to emulate one of my heros. Johnny Cash. In fact I'd like to find a cool Acoustic Guitar site like a TalkAcoustic. I have to do a search.

Well I love playing DB and EB, but I just got a concert ukelele for my birthday. It's loads of fun to play and a nice change from bass because your usually strumming chords (something I rarely do on bass).

Back in the day I played:
guitar
piano
organ
uke
recorder

I have a keyboard but rarely play it. Also have an $800+ guitar and *never* play it. I stick to the bass!

I also play strictly classical guitar. Meaning I play guitar, but only in the classical genre. I love the way it sounds. Sooo romantic in my opinion... and yes, I learned it for the ladies

tenor and bass trombone-vastly huge learning curve going from a brass instrument to a string instrument.

Trombone
Euphonuim
Trumpet
Piano

I also play a mean jaw harp!

Although I am an accomplished brass player, playing the bass has always been my passion. I pick up my bass and forget all my troubles (for a while).
