First instrument, but now I play others (guitar, drums, keyboards).

 

[MonetBass]

I started on string bass (double bass). Electric came soon after.

 

[Dertygen]

I started on string bass (double bass). Electric came soon after.

How much difference was the two? At least in playing style?

 

[Stumbo]

Children's choir, then piano, then french horn (a little percussion and trumpet, too), adult choir, electric bass, double bass, piano (again), choir (again) violin, recorder, guitar, voice, (lead).

Still doing double bass, electric bass, recorder, voice, violin, and guitar.

Wow, a whole music store.

Congrats on your dedication, Dr. Jim. It shows us regular guys what's possible.

Piano at age eight, stuck with it for a year
Cello at age nine, stuck with it for a year, then moved and I wasn't able to pick it up again.
Guitar at age twelve, it was my main instrument until I was sixteen.
Bass at fifteen, it took over guitar when I was sixteen. Hopefully it will stay my main instrument, it has been my main for two years.

Recorder, then piano, then guitar, then double bass, and finally bass guitar (I still play double bass and piano).
