uh i disagree bass is not for lazy ppl

bass takes twice the amount of effort to master than guitar
why?

because
1: anything done of guitar can be done on bass ie tapping, circle picking
its just harder cuz the strings are so much bigger
2. the bass strings are big soo moving fast is harder
3. there are most ways to play the bass than a guitar bow, fingers, pick ,slap / pop

Guitar's come standard with 6 strings. Basses come standard with 4 or 5. Guitars have more strings, and more chords. And if you play guitar in a band you are almost guarentied to get laid. Oh and Frank Zappa said "If you are a bass play in a band you are by definition a moron"

then again, bass involves hitting (for the most part) one string at a time. no chords.
and there are less strings. bass lines are usually not as fast, as well.

He was talking out of his ass. If you play in a decent band you're almost guaranteed to get laid. If you play guitar you'll have very little chance of playing in a decent band. If you play bass, they snap you up!

Good drummers are even harder to find. Flexible guitarists are too.

i playeed guitar for 8 years and i must say, i picked up a bass last year and its a bitch, but i've caught on really fast and i've progressed, and im starting to learn stuff like victor wooten (just barely mind you) and i find it a much more fun instrument to play. so go bass! (woo!)

That's true. My advice to all of the younger ones out there, take up the bass now. Or, if you have the potential to be brilliant on the drums, then take these up. Unless you're a truly great guitarist you won't get far in bands, mediocre guitarists either find it impossible to get into bands, or spoil the music of the band they ARE in. But you can be a completely average bassist and still get into a wicked band, just make friends with a great guitarist or drummer! In fact, in a way they prefer technically average bassists to brilliant ones, because the brilliant ones tend to mess everything up with pointless slap work.

So learn the bass and join a band.

And you DO want to be in a band, it automatically makes you cool (unless you're Billy Wyman or somebody like that...)

It makes you even cooler if your music sounds good.
