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!
I'm a sucker for green instruments. The kit is green too. That bass you are working on is awesome man. Nice work, you'll have to post pictures of it here when you complete it, I'd definitely be interested in seeing that. I remember the days of not having a drummer to play with. It can be frustrating, especially for a bass player. My roommate in college was a bass player and we would jam all the time but it's really not the same without a drummer. Good luck with the guitar/piano. I found that the piano was pretty easy for me to fumble around on once I learned the guitar. In fact, once I learned the guitar lots of instruments come quickly. -Mandolin, Ukelele and even to an extent the violin. -I just need to figure out how that bow works?? -Not used to that. Rock on rozap!
