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.
Trumpet is dope,my junior high jazz band teacher played trumpet and I thought it was the greatest thing ever until I found out he was a drummer,I was amazed at how good he was at drums hes insane
I play a little trombone still. I did the marching band thing in high school. It prepared me for reading bass clef.
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!
Blues harp (Harmonica) is my second instrument. Proper Chicago Blues harp style, not Bob Dylan or Neil Young style.
I play a bit of Dobro, Guitar, Banjo and Ukulele too, but i wouldn't say i'm great at them.
Obviously bass is the main instrument, but i also play guitar, drums, dulcimer, mandolin, a little keys....I have a home studio. It helps to be able to play extra stuff.
Yes bass is the main instrument. I have played trombone, sax and clarinet in the past. I also play (yikes) guitar, mandolin, keys and can maintain a steady beat on drums for....a while, but I'm certainly no drummer.
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
Guitar, dobro/lap steel, mandolin, keys, djembe. 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!
I play trumpet. I'm better at the trumpet.
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.
