Next best instrument? - Page 2

I'd have to flip a coin between Upright bass and Banjo

A big ol' honkin' doghouse bass. They sound great and nothing looks cooler on stage.

Not that I play any of them well, mind you, but I play, to some extent, guitar, piano, fiddle, mandolin, banjo and harmonica.

My next instrument is definitely going to be button accordion. The only question is, single-row Cajun accordion (an Acadian by Marc Savoy) or triple-row Tex-Mex accordion (Hohner Corona II)?

The Vibraslap

I remember being a young keyboard player & positively DROOOLING over these in a casio catalouge from about 87' or so.

A keytar? A guy in the band I play in for my youth group plays one of those

After 40 years of Tele pickin' I got the urge to get into Lap steel..got myself a triple neck 8 string Fender and am loving every moment!..playing in a western swing 5 piece...the first sit down gig in all that time....great!!!!
Still love my Tele though!

YES! a Keytar.Thanks for reminding me of the name, for the life of me I couldnt remember what it was.

Well, I THINK the piano is the best musical instrument any aspiring musician can learn on. What a proficient pianist can do with 88 keys in classical music is pretty impressive to me! I can just kick myself for quitting lessons!!
