for me its singing, piano and violin to grades 8,3 and 4 respectively.  Seems that most people went the guitar route on the forum.

What's so good about guitars? all the people I know who play them spend more time discussing brands, types and acessories and try teach themselves, those who play other instruments spend loads of money getting 1 after trying loads picking up on the sutleties between them on an individual basis, rather than assume those of a certain brand are all the same, then get lessons from someone who's super good at it and therefore learn how to read music and all the other stuff...

rant over

USA Fender Telecaster, Takamine Electro Acoustic, 5 String Banjo, Keyboard, Mandolin, Cello and Violin.  Not great at playing any of them...but gives me pleasure playing and owning.

Piano, guitar, mandolin, diatonic accordion and random percussion. Likewise not great at playing any, but get a lot of pleasure from them. Have recorded a fair bit of stuff and used to perform quite regularly.

Peter - seems to be a thing with guitar players. I'm an ex-pro bass player (plus double bass to diploma standard) and I've had the same 3 instruments for over 15 years now. Aria SB1000 for general use, just a lovely instrument with the best neck of any bass i've ever played, plus a WAL Custom fretless and my double bass which is a 19th century English instrument given to me when I was 18. I've tried lots and lots of other kit, but never found anything that sounds and feels like these. Even modern luthier-built instruments don't seem to have the feel and warmth of the Aria, and the WAL is just special! I've been offered stupid money for the double bass, but tempting as a couple of brand new FD's is, I'll not part with it.

No FD? No Comment!

I play the bass as a second instrument, but better at the sax.

Met my wife (to be) in the band where I played bass guitar at 17. Happy days!

Now we have our 4 guitars under the bed, gathering dust. Really must pick them up sometime, but it means painful fingers all over again.

Anyone else on here mad about MIDI?
