Or rather, has seeing Mio inspired you to learn bass or guitar? I've had a bass for about 8 years and I just dusted it off recently.

I got 2 basses that have been sitting around for over a year now, I know how to play but I could use a refresher. I wouldn't say it's inspired me to learn but it's been making me think about breaking out a bass and learning some new stuff.

BECK had me started. I bought myself an Acoustic and started out, but then...I couldn't get the hang of it. And so, I left my Acoustic in its case and the case was left to rot.

However, seeing Yui and Mio, Mio especially, play and make it seem so easy, I might go and wipe the dust off and start playing once more. I sucked, but who knows, maybe those endless hours of playing Rock Band 2 would pay off.

well, I was previously a member of band late last year but I kinda got busy with school work so I had to quit.

After I watched K-on (specifically, the ED)~ I suddenly got the urge to pick up my instruments again :3.

I've only owned a guitar...and that has a broken string right now. I never really bothered to learn much, but seeing stuff like this really makes me wish I put more work into it. Same with piano, but I never owned one of those growing up.

I definitely already have a Bass, and I play. I kinda need a new one though. The one I have now is a standard black Fender Starcaster(the ones with the pointy-ish headstock that looks like this) with a standard white pick guard. Her name is Mihoshi, and she's kinda old.

And Mio playing Bass just makes her better.

I've always thought it'd be cool to play the guitar or the drums, but to be honest with you I've never been good at playing musical instruments so it's sort of a no really.

Nothing special. Honey satin Schecter Stiletto Studio (4 strings of course :P) with active EMGs.

I'm thinking bout buying a J-Bass this summer.

As much as I love Mio, I don't think my dream instrument is a J-Bass at all. In fact, I think it's a white MusicMan StingRay(4-string) with a black tortoiseshell pick guard. Either that, or a Rickenbacker 4001 of some kind, preferably blue. Although if I ever get a J-Bass, and probably if I get a new bass guitar at all, I'm gonna name it after Mio.

By the way, points if you know what the blue Rick 4001 is from. More points if you know what the StingRay is from.

Sorry, but Mio doesn't have a P-Bass. It's Jazz :)

Blue Rickenbacker 4001? You're talking about FLCL? :D And do You know which famous bassist was playing on blue left-handed Rickenbacker 4001? He was mentioned on the show.

Hmmmmm....It's a Jazz? Everywhere I look tells me Precision....oh well.

At any rate, I want to say Paul McCartney...but there have been others. That guy from Metallica. And Lemmy.

Well I have my Guitar since nearly 3 years now and never realy started to practice intesively. But only after watching Beck i practiced for some weeks in the holidays and get better. Then school started and i get lazy again -_- ... well now i have got only to do my final exams and after them i have no school anymore ^^ and will start practiceing again for the 2nd or 3rd time.

I've been playing electric guitar for a while, and I'm not a big fan of LP's so K-ON! really didn't do much for me in that field.
BUT
I have been getting these urges to pick up bass. I suppress them though...better to focus and excel in guitar first. Its just a fleeting obsession (like when I watched BECK and wanted a White Falcon)

no way. like sports, playing music instruments requires practice and work.

I can't even play a flipping flute! o_O
no anime in the world would inspire me to play an instrument. I simply like listening to people with talent use the said instruments.

It gets somewhat boring, but sometimes it's completely worthwhile.

After watching the first episode I wen and set up my drums and played after a 6 month hiatus unfortunately my skill level had decreased dramatically :( after that i spent a few hours sifting through boxes in an attempt to find my keyboard's power cord (unsuccessfully).
But the focus of K-on is more on the guitar, so naturally I want to learn the guitar now (the chords look like so much fun), but maybe bass is a better option considering it only really has 4 strings so it has to be easier. Will probably make do with guitar hero instead though.

Despite having less strings, bass isn't necessarily easier than guitar. Similar, but not necessarily easier. They're played differently, they have different styles and different methods....all kinds of stuff. In my experience, it's all about picking one of them up and deciding which one feels better to you.

And yes, Guitar Hero is awesome. XD

I'm in exactly the same boat as you. The bassist in Beck was amazing. Like, a lot. Taira Yoshiyuki for much win.

Personally, I recommend Beck to anyone who likes K-ON!(for more than the massive quantities of moe, and even then, go watch it).

Beck was a very good music anime.
Though I like K-ON!, Beck truly told the story of a kid learning guitar and playing in a band, eventually making it big.
For a musician it was very satisfying when Yukio performs at Greatful Sound.
I'd say Beck is a much better inspiration to start playing, but if K-ON! gets you started and you continue, its all fine by me.

I started charting Don't say "lazy" in GH: World Tour a while back, but stalled after I got the bass part done. That's all that matters, right?

Yeah, I play the plastic guitar. lol. I'd love to try the real thing but don't have the money for a guitar at the moment. I think I could get an acoustic easily (my mom has one she doesn't really use). I put some effort into learning banjo when I was younger, but banjo is weird.

I'm more of a keyboard instrument player anyway, having started on piano and played xylophone in marching band for four years. Between piano and xylophone I played pretty much everything else in school band at one point or another. Keyboard-style instruments and other percussion instruments have always been the most fun for me to play though.
