rocknrollstar5 · 04-08-2006, 02:12 PM

its obvious that most people will say guitar as i did

thebassistX · 04-08-2006, 02:44 PM

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"

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.

What the fudge? You can't choose more than one option.

My instruments of choice are the bass, guitar, and flute. I know how to drum but i suck at it. I can play the piano but i hate it. And I only know how to play one song on the harmonica.
And what happened to the tambourine?

Peace

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.

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!)
