I play bass. Used to play the piano.

Same, but played trumpet in between (I find that bassists have often played trumpet in the past).

Well, it's always easier to learn a second instrument if you have a firm grasp on basic music theory. I hated playing the piano, but in retrospect, it's really helped me pick up the bass faster/better.
