Bass "chords" are neat, 2 or 3 notes. And no you shouldnt "strum" a bass because when you get that low it gets muddy.
I've played bass for 3 years and I recently got a guitar. And chords are the thing I'm struggling with. Solos and lead lines are very easy to write coming from a bass because the frets are much closer.

I guess, but i'm mainly talking about rhythm playing on guitar.... It's always better to start with rhythm before you start playing lead parts.

Plus there are a lot of techniques on guitar you can't do on bass, while most things you learn on bass you can play on guitar... And of course the strings on a bass are thicker and harder to pluck... So it's better to start on guitar.

The bass is a step down instrument, most people who play bass started with guitar, it's easier to take what you learned on guitar and apply it to bass, as opposed to vice versa... Like a friend of mine once said, there are no bassists, just failed guitarists.

That's why i have a bass now.
you missed the point, if you want to learn to play bass why start with a guitar. :S
