I agree with Paul McCartney and Mike Oldfield and it is difficult to choose between them. The former is a surprisingly good drummer as well as bassist, guitarist and pianist. He plays drums on Band on the Run. McCartney passed his 11 plus exam, a selectional examination on the basis of intelligence, which meant he went to a grammer school at the age of eleven. George Harrison attended the same school and John Lennon went to another grammer. Robert Plant also passed the 11 plus.
Mike Oldfield always thought of himself as a bassist first, but he can play almost anything. I do not know why he does not play drums, although I have read his (extremely interesting) autobiography. John Paul Jones is another bassist who can play anything.
John Miles could switch between piano and guitar on stage and can play both very well. Todd Rundgren is regarded as the multi-instrumentalists' multi-instrumentalist! Although not to my taste, Dave Grohl can play most things.
