I've been playing the bass for about 7 years now, though since I got to college I haven't played as much as I'd like (so, the last 3 years) - finding people to jam with is difficult, because no one has a drum set, as apartment/dorm dwelling is the most common. Used to jam in high school with friends all the time though. My skills have definitely not progressed much in the past couple years :\

I bought the guitar about 3 years ago, (using only coins) but haven't really ever taken the time to figure it out. I can noodle around a bit, but I definitely wouldn't say I play guitar.

In terms of gear, I mostly play that fender jazz. I also am (still in the process) of making a bass here that I started before I went to college, but has been put on hold as I have no space to work on it. Argh. The woes of living in an apartment.

And, finally, instruments I'd like to learn: guitar, piano. Who knows if I'll ever make time for them though. I would love to someday have the time to pick up a new instrument. It's such a fun, rewarding, and goddamn frustrating process.

thenewgreen: slide guitar? I dig it!
