Instruments: Who plays?

[MirandM]

I was just curious how many fellow tattooers play an instrument.
I play bass for some 38 years now, have played in a band and recorded some stuff, not anymore though and never had a disc or any success.
I'm also an active member of a bass players forum. At this moment I own 40 guitars, of which 37 are basses.
I also play keyboards, drums and just a little electric guitar.
I have a clarinet, trumpet, flutes, violins and several other small instruments, apart from my 40 channel home studio.
I have no knowledge whatsoever of music, cannot write or read two notes (one, well maybe ) but have a hearing they say.
I do some other stuff like building my own basses, maintenance, basic luthier stuff mostly.
I love progressive rock but can play from jazz to hard rock.

I play bass too!!!
I was in a covers band for 15 years playing clubs and biker rallies!! Loved it!!!
I stopped playing after I had my daughter, it was getting too much being away from her x I gigged til I was 8 months pregnant!! I had to adapt a different way of playing because of my belly ?
My husband also plays bass and between us we’ve got about 25 basses!!!
Maybe one day I’ll get back gigging… who knows… don’t miss the late nights tho!!! ?

Which MPC do you have? Used to have fun with the 2000 in my 20's (house mostly). I now own an NI maschine, very fun tool too!

I like some of your beats, nice deep slow grooves.

Peace,
