I'm an Euphist. I've been playing Euphonium for about 10 years now, with another 4 years of Baritone Horn before that. I'm currently loaning my instrument from the band I'm currently playing with (Because Euphoniums are freaking expensive), but its a Boosey & Hawkes Imperial (No photo yet, because I'm at work). While I only play for my local brass band at the moment, I've previously been a part of 3 concert tours with the Victorian State Youth Brass to various parts of Australia.
Flea just blows my mind...Have you seen this by any chance? Some of Flea's best playing in my eyes
Just that 3:00 minute jam is the most incredible things I've ever heard xD
I need to listen to more of Chris W's stuff actually, I've always been put off of Muse by the Singer
I play a violin. Currently, I'm figuring out Stairway to Heaven. No jokes.
EDIT- I thought this was about on our own. Me is wrong, then.
EDIT 2- Well lookie here, another violinist!

I've been playing the violin for ever. Now I mostly play worked versions of whatever songs I like. I can play about half of Paul McCartney's career work from muscle memory.
I tried to learn guitar for a while but fell out with it before I actually got any good.
I can also play the fiddle. (✌ﾟ∀ﾟ☞

They're both in the same price range, i.e., around Squier level, but the rbx is a fair bit better than a Squier as far as I'm concerned. The electronics are active so you get a good sound for the money, and it's surprisingly versatile. You can get a shitload of sounds from those four knobs. A very good bass for the price. Easy to play, and with two humbuckers shaped in such a way as to be comfortable to lean your thumb on.
Of course, the sound isn't as organic as on the j-bass, but that's not expected of it.
As for the Kingman: It's very pretty-looking and the sound is decent. I did try out one with a better sound in the store, but it was expensive and the neck was thick as all hell.
The Kingman uses a j-bass neck, so it's really comfortable.
There is some humming and scraping from the strings touching the frets, but that's to be expected from an acoustic I figure.
The j-bass is a bit too nice for my level of skill, really, but my reasoning for buying it anyways went like this:
In this particular period of my life I happen to have enough spare money to buy one, and I don't know when the next time I have this much money is going to be.
I need a new bass, and I want it to be an upgrade from the last one, but I feel like if I buy a cheaper bass I'll have to upgrade again sometime in the future, so by just jumping to the last step in the upgrade ladder I ultimately save money. I want it goddammit!
- Sawtooth, Square and Triangle wave Ocillator + Noise Generator
- MS20 Lowpass Filter Circuit
- Integrated Sequencer
- 3x Analog Drum parts
- 1x LFO -> OSC, Filter or OSC + Filter (goes well above 20hz for cross modulation)
In a lot of ways, it seems like the modern answer to the Roland's much sought after vintage acid box the TB303 and it's drum companion, the TR606

This isn't the total of what I have and play, but I figured a post listing music software and less visually interesting midi hardware and sound tech would be kinda boring, so ^^^ is a my latest fascination.
Heh, well mine's not so pretty right now. It's lying in a heap in my room at the moment, with added customizations and frets pulled out of the fingerboard.
I've been looking all around for something to fill those damn fret holes with, but I can't find anything reasonable.
Plus, I just found out rosewood is toxic or something, so I'd get a rash if I tried sanding it without proper equipment. Grrrr.
By the way: Have you checked out this band? The bassist is really good.
I have played the drums for a long time, was in bands, did gigs, etc, but I stopped because it was very impractical to move the thing around and I moved more than once in a short timeframe.
Always liked music so eventually (and influenced by, of all things, the Guitar Hero games) I decided to go back and play some instrument that didn't need so much space and made so much noise so I picked up the guitar. I avoided the guitar for a long time because of the "everybody plays the guitar" phenomenon and also because my brother is a professional musician and is quite good at the guitar, so it was a bit intimidating. In the end I decided I just wanted to have fun, anyway.
I have a couple of guitars (white Squier strato with blade pickups and a stylized Les Paul-like from a local brand) and just recently bought a bass, a simple/cheap model from Yamaha (but it does make a good sound, I've bought it with a guy who knows this stuff). I'm really enjoying to learn the basics of bass playing. In terms of gear I have a Toneport UX1, a Line 6 POD XT and a Line 6 Spider amp and a small cube for the bass. Most of the time I play with the instruments plugged to my computer, though, hence the interfaces.
I'm a singer. I've been singing for over a decade now. I haven't really done anything with it but I probably will in the near future.
Because I don't have the greatest voice in the world I am drawn to rough or imperfect voices like Trent Reznor, Rivers Cumo, Jack White and Liam Gallagher, they just speak to me.
I also play guitar and piano, I don't really have influences for those. But musically as a whole my overarching tastes is basically any music ever, I just listen to everything, it just seams like the best thing to do creatively.
*Snicker*
You should see what she does at 1:15 in this vid:
The timing of that hair flip is just too awesome.
Oh, "she"'s a dude by the way. The comment sections on their videos are filled with 'confused boner' people.
Why is it you can't slap? If you love Flea, I'd imagine you would have put a lot of time and effort into learning it. Personally I found it rather intuitive, at least after my teacher showed me a couple of basic practice exercises.
There's just something about slapping that let's you play stuff that sounds more complicated than it is. And it feels so natural to get a groove going when you do it, so I love slapping.
