Keyboards. Yesterday, I had one of the pleasures, in terms of music in my whole life. I played in a big pipe organ in a church, so today, I can't have any doubt, it's keyboards.

A big ass Hammond B-3 on the attack.
Quatermass, ELP, and Nick Crane along with David Greenslade my favourites.
 But all bow to HRH Rick Wakeman.

^Love the guitar, but after playing 14 notes per second on the electric and trying to setlle down and try some finger style on an acoustic I have always felt really limited, but of course I'll leave that to the dedicated acoustic-heads to churn out something really amazing.

LOL
But Jaco was very much at one with his bass, so perhaps he sorta was an instrument. Or maybe it was a case that the bass was JacoConfused

Keyboards a lot more important in prog than almost any other genre.

So I'd guess a lot of keyboard players are drawn to prog.
its they main reason I listen to it.

I would go for the bass or sax or keyboards. I'll go for bass. The bass is an instrument that few people apreciate. All most all prog heads apreciate of course. But I think the guitar is like pop now. The drums are cool but nah.

Guitar is like pop?Confused
I tend to even think the even the guitar is widely unappreciated among the general public. It's scary the amount of people that honestly believe that the guitar cannot be used more expressively than in a pop-punk band settingUnhappy.

Holy crap,  it looks like one of those Steinberger bass guitars (but I suspect it actually isn't). Let me guess,  one of the 3 control knobs controls (gun) volume, one controls the active gunpowder boost and the 3rd one controls the tone i.e how much the shrill high end of the gun shot will obliterate your hearing?Wacko

Now this is a proper, sensible guitar:



But at the end of the day, I prefer the one I was using when I was jamming with my mate Carlos the other day:



OK - I admit it, I borrowed John McLaughlin's guitar when he was making a cup of tea...
