I have a piano, but aside from the occasional plinking...not really.

Not too many drummers among us, are there?

A six-piece Ludwig 'Classic Maple' drumkit sprayed to match V-Series fireglo perfectly...

mmm

I can see it.

Electric guitars, Acoustic guitars (nylon & steel), Baritone guitar, 12 string electric guitar, Guitar synthesisers, Celtic Harp, Mandolin, Tenor banjo, Roger's bouzouki, Bass guitars (4,5,8 & rubber string), Toy guitar, Keyboards (digital & analogue), Reed organ, Xylophone, Tin whistle, Trombone, Voice, Tamborine, Bodhran, Sleigh bells, Cardboard box, Fist, Alarm clock, It likes to live in a pocket & Drum program.

Well, thats what I played on my first album. The baritone guitar has gone as well as the 5 string bass and the 12 string basses have stepped in to fill the void...

I would like to add a Theremin to the list and really should pick up the Bagpipes again...

Bass (primary instrument)
Guitar (I started out as a gitarist and have 1 Rick on which I strum chords several times a week)
Classical Guitar (I ended at beginning conservatory level before I switched to bass)
Double bass (I had one for some time and can do basic rockabilly things.)
Drums (allways fun too fool around with in rehearsing room. I know basic patterns and think this is very helpful for a bassguitarist.)
Violin (I studied it for half a year. Nowadays I only play our national anthem and a children song once or twice a year. I can still play these reasonably in tune.)
Keyboards (I know how to play chords, but dont have a good independent left/right hand technique)
Didge (I own one. In the shop I was even able to make decent noises with it while drunk)


All kinds of litle instruments on which I am almost allways able to play some kind of melody whenever I see them. I even use our hoover and my t-shirt to make melodies sometimes. (You can vary pitch with the amount of t-shirt sucked into the hoover)

I play power chords on a two-string Fender Jaguar, and know "Louie, Louie" on bass and Farfisa.

My Rickenbackers are only for looking at.

That's a shame...but then again, I'm sure many others play their PW built or restored Ricks.

I started off on trombone too, Jake! Dropped it after middle school when I got my 330.

I think Paul is teasing us. He's a pretty decent rhythm guitarist by my account.

So, you've heard Paul play?

Sure I have. We are neighbors. Besides, you can judge for yourself in North of Malibu's video from last year.

I have heard play, just ribbin' ya'!

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right ...

And I'm stuck in the middle, just lookin' at my Ricks...

You mean, you can play these things??!?!?!? I thought they were just for looking at. I mean, they are such works of art, yeah, they are just for lookin' at... I think...

...posing is okay, too, I hear.
