Classically trained violinist from age 5 through 19. I was in an ensemble group and the local symphony orchestra, etc.
Taught self to play bass guitar in HS and was in rock band.
Haven't played much in the last 20+ years though. If you get to the level I was at, you either turn professional and do little else, or you go and lead a normal life. If I can't spend the hour+ per day to stay in concert form then I get too frustrated by my suckiness. So, I just don't play.
