Voice - sometimes a capella, although my friends claim that's a sure sign that my medication needs adjustment. Talk about working without a net! "A capella", BTW, comes from a Latin phrase meaning "I couldn't afford a guitarist"!

Bass guitar, got 4 (I'm becoming a collector in spite of financial realities):

Pan bass from the 60's - not a great bass, but it looks so funky I had to have it. Semi-acoustic, symetrical venetian cutaways, sunburst finish, floating bridge & tailpiece design (bridge even has a string mute - this is from the days when electric basses were just supposed to go thud, thud, thud).

Gibson Les Paul Triumph (sometimes referred to as the "Recording" model) - 'bout 1973, if we've got it dated accurately. Short-scale neck, like all my basses. I was given it in two pieces, the headstock broken right off. My friend thought I might be able to cannibalize the pickups to improve the Pan's sound. Instead I was fortunate in finding a repair shop ("Don't Fret" in Waterdown, Ontario) who thought they could restore it. As a result, I've got a fine solid body electric.

Fender BG-29 acoustic bass guitar - a very recent aquisition. Has a surprisingly deep acoustic tone for its body size, and Fishman electronics on board make things much easier for the sound people at the folk clubs where I hang out.

And my pride & joy - an acoustic bass guitar that was built for me by Glen Reid (Burk's Falls, Ontario). I don't care that my playing doesn't merit such an instrument; it's mine and I love it! It has a large sorta lute-shaped body that joins the neck about the 9th fret, miles of bottom end and enough volume to allow me to participate in acoustic singarounds without upsetting the traditionalists by lugging in an amp. For sound systems, I had Ralph Pickersgill of Port Dover, Ontario install pickups in it. I make no claims for my bass playing - I'm an amateur plunker and that's it - but this bass gets me INVITED places! Love it. Check out http://www.interlog.com/~dcntexp/Grgall.htm for actual photos of one of my bass's brothers. Glen just converted mine to a fretless neck, and it no longer plays - it SINGS! Lord, I can't believe how lovely it sounds.

Oops! Guess i got a little verbose there. Sorry.
