So this is a keyboard that my mother gave to to me and my oldest daughter. We are both in the process of learning to play as time permits, she (my daughter) is also now taking music at school, but personally, I have learned to play Happy Birthday & Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She however is super far ahead of me.

The guitar is a present I brought for her, she has yet to learn anything about it. (just noting that)

As you can see, it's in her room lol.

I do have several exotic musical instruments like rainstick, hand drum, french harp, flute, and several others, but they are just for toying or sampling.

The real setup is electronic. It's fairly compact, I can take it with just a powerbank in my pocket to a seashore and play.

Hey Ecksplosion, I'm loving the colour! In the end all that matters is you that you enjoy playing 😁

Also, I just wanted to share this post about connecting your social accounts, as it helps us to check and award original submissions. Let me know if I can help. 🙂

The red squire P bass is my first love. Purchased from a now defunct music store in Southend called Honky Tonky Music. I was 15 when I got it and it was bought for me because my dad was having to move to Dubai for work for at least a year and he wanted to get me something as a going away present.

Right is the fabled Dean Cabbie bass. I saw this while at university in a shop window, loud and proud on display in the window and like Waynes World I was all "It will be mine". I couldn't afford it though. Fast forward 2 or 3 years later and I went into the store, and in the back room with all the acoustics was this bass, gathering dust right in the far corner, with a discount tag slapped on it because it had a little sun bleaching on the body. I snapped their hand off and bought it there and then. It's definitely a hard instrument to play than the P bass but I remember the pure joy I got at seeing it there in the corner, neglected, knowing it was coming home with me.

Oh boy....!

Oooooh I get to tell the tale of one of my beautiful instruments!

I'll see if I can track down a picture just to share since I don't own it anymore, but I had a custom Collings guitar made many years ago. Visited them just on a tour to see the process and ended up making an order while I was there. Got to pick out the wood for the neck myself while on site. It did go to a good home and I do get to see it fairly regularly when I visit the new owner. One of the best experiences with an instrument I've ever had.

Any other drummers / percussionists on JA? It's surprisingly hard to find a nice photo of my kit as it's always behind people, amps and guitars but here's a recent one. It's a hodge-podge kit of Mapex shells, Zildjian ZHTs, A Dream crash and an abolsute mish mash of hardware. Cobbled together from various charity shops and marketplace finds. But it's tough and has gigged well for well over 10 years!

Hey Jorge Soares, your kid is better at playing the guitar at 5 years old than I ever was as a teenager! 😄Sorry I missed this when you posted it.
