Guitar

Drums
Keyboards/or Piano

When I used to manage a big box guitar store, there was a guy we called "N.P.M." It stood for "Notes Per Minute" - not tone, no definition, just rif **** scaling minus the scales. Sounded like a steel wool thing being scrubbed over a panicked piece of wood.
BTW, I kept a dollar in my pocket to give to anyone who could tell me (first time customers only) what the most overplayed and least well played song in the store - Back In Black. Nobody ever got it.
Guitar - Eric Johnson, Leo Kottke.
Bass - Flea, Alan Picard (you've probably not heard him)
Drums - good gravy, too many to answer here. Animal?
Piano - John Tesh, in a bad way, and Liberace

A bass should be able to be played through a regular guitar amp unless that amp is extremely weird, but I'm not sure if guitar foot pedals can be used.
