I used to take a lightweight 88 key, weighted action Yamaha P-85 Piano along with my arranger to some gigs that required a bit of solo piano...mainly corporate dinners, or sometimes certain restaurant gigs. I midi'd it to the S910 I had, and used the piano sounds in the latter, as it had slightly better Live! Grand Piano, plus the Rhodes emulations were also more satisfactory and more varied...I used to sometimes layer piano and strings.

I played left hand (and foot pedal) bass for many years, but now I am content to let the arranger do all the work...especially with today's style accompaniments that really have lots of liveliness and variety in them. Some of the swing/bebop styles have incredible bass-lines.

You sure have a lot of guitars, Russ...of course, many say that "one can never have too many guitars" wink. Having those choices, and easily at hand, must be a real pleasure on a gig.
