@Grab-n-Stash: I also play bass.

Had a few more questions for the bass. Is it the one that needs a stand because of its size or is it the cello I'm thinking of or both? Is it as heavy as it may look on first glance? One last question about the guitar I didn't think of earlier. Did you ever use one of those picks (I'm not sure if that's what it's actually called or if it's a nickname for it) to avoid injuring your fingers when playing?

I play electric bass. One of these to be exact.

I play both with a plectrum and with my fingers. It depends on what I'm playing.
