well.. playing all instruments is a cool thing to be able to do, and you'll find you'll pick other ones up quicker later on.

// Well I do bass

I'm not surprised

thats not a bad idea... but do you have any friends that play instruments.. or do still go to school?

because if you do ask to try a few things, see how they feel.

buy some. i said BUY!

// Do not learn bass
ey? Girls love the bass players...

// I, for one, really dig bass players
See.

Although, admittedly, I learnt guitar first, before the flaw that our band had four guitar players and no bass player was pointed out to us by a wiser head. Being the tallest and therefore having the longest fingers, I was nominated for the supposedly 'uncool' position, and haven't looked back since.

Oddly enough, the same 'long fingers' theory was applied to me when I was 9 years old, at primary school, when the music teacher was gifted a bass recorder. It was lucky old me that got to learn how to play the thing, and, with my three siblings, all of whom are are within four years age of me (we played in order of age down the recorder tonal scale: Bass, Tenor, Treble, Piccolo, so cute!), proceeded to terrorise the primary school end-of-year concert with a frightening rendition of 'Cuckoo!' from the Sound of Music.

fud can you tap on a bass?

will do sir

yep, bring on the erhu I say. Much cheaper to get than a theremin, too.

$50?! wow, thats cheap!
i might go get one of those...

no, i was hinting at anything other than what you listed. theres probably hundreds of instruments around that you've never even heard of.

i've always wanted a theremin...

I hear they are very hard to play.
I'll stick to trying to get my feeble noodle around a fret board.

Wow, does Dick Smith do them as well? I must get myself a soldering iron...

complete with mullet. mmm.... sexy.

If you're going to have a mullet and a keyboard-guitar-thing, you've gotta have a piano-key tie to complete the ensemble.
Chicks dig it.

Hey! I recognise that name...

//its also a good instrument to let out your anger on

yes, but that can get expensive

Not too sure about the mullet, but drums are definitely the way to go.

1. The little stool a drummer sits on is called a throne, which is entirely appropriate for the royalty of rock!

2. You don't need to retune after every song and piss off the punters. Leave that to the prima donna lead axe man! Just make sure you "quietly" play a few nice little buzz rolls, flams and paradiddles to annoy the guy on rythym.

3. Drummers get all the cutest chicks.

4. No band can make it without a decent drummer. The person behind the kit provides the heartbeat ... if you drummer is crap your band will be as well.

5. And best of all there is no volume control on a drumkit!!!!!!!
