Bass nerd here. I played in a band in college (mostly acid jazz and soul), did did some fill-ins for everything from hip-hop to Broadway-style musical theatre. After school, I played with a Hawai'ian band for a couple of years, complete with hula dancers, all around Washington DC. During this time, I was able to pick up ukulele and some dance moves.

Unfortunately, I've just been practicing by myself for the past year or two. Kind of bad, because I can tell that my groove has diminished by not playing with others (especially drummers) for so long. I bought an electronic drum set a while ago, which I beat on for fun when I get hyped. IMO, few things are more physically satisfying than playing the hell out of some drums!
