    I'm a guitarist and vocalist. Also play a bit of Uke but that's for my own pleasure :P

    I have been gigging as a Singer for 8 years now, but never been in a working band, still something to cross off my 'to do' list!

    I play guitar. No band though. Nobody I know that's into the music I like playing (post-rock, doom metal, thrash, tech-death) play any instruments.

    When I was younger I was briefly in a black metal band.

    I'm a musician! Singer/songwriter (trying to start a band, though). I mostly play guitar, but also piano, cello, violin, bassoon, bass... pretty much anything I can get my hands on!

    Except percussion. I suck at percussion :P

    I'm a singer, a pianist of sorts and a really rather bad guitarist :D

    I can play the flute and the trumpet!

    I haven't played either in a while though. :(

    I really miss the flute because I was quite good at it.

    Jack of all, master of none, currently on guitar, playing in a grungey rock metal band called Priority Orange. What with us forming about 20 years too late, we play to empty rooms, which is a pity, because the person who writes the songs is having a really solid crack at building upon the styles he likes rather than blithely imitating them.

    www.priorityorange.com

    Before that, I was in bass, initially in a pub rock band called MonkeyBox, and then in a Thrash band called Convict Anatomy. I'm not into metal per se but it's damn technical and I actually quite enjoy playing it....great energy in metal too, pity about the screaming vocals (they get old really quick).

    I have played guitar for a good few years and sing. I've done a good few gigs and played in a band for a while too!

    I'm an alto sax player.

    I play in a local street band and we all dress outrageously in hot pink (even the guys)!

    Massive fun :)

    I'm reacquainting myself with the bass after a hiatus of 7 or so years(!). I'm the token chick in my friends' band, which I'm hoping will up their cool factor by quite a bit! They want to do a gig soon and I'm trying my best but I must admit it's a bit nerve-racking!

    Just bought myself a new (second hand) bass to get back playing. Not been in a band, except a couple of thrown together things for weddings and birthdays. Played rhythm guitar on those, just covers. Would love to get back playing in a band but time is precious.

    all the bass players, any of you play upright, or all bass guitar? fretless bass guitar for me.
    electric, classical, acoustic and a jazzbox on the skinny strings.

    I play Bass :)

    i can play both electric and upright, but I usually stick with electric - much more suitable for my style of music :)
