The upright bass
Does anyone play or had a chance to play at some point the upright bass (or double bass, contrabass)?
I only tried it once and I pretty much sucked, but it was really fun playing it. I will get one someday if I get a big enough apartment to put it in
I'm a dude that looks frequently at the fretboard. I tremble at the thought of there being no frets to tell me where I am..arrghh!..No!
I would love to play a Cello! ala Echo and The Bunnymen.

I went to see a John Williams orchestra last weekend, the 1st chair cello played beautifully throughout the concert. Then the Cantina Band piece came up and he walked to the other side of the stage, leaving his bow behind and started playing with his fingers at crazy speeds. His hand was going up and down the 2 and 1/2 foot fretboard at lightning speeds.
I only wish there were some lefty ones.
