no acutally thats wrong. a bass has much wider frets and is wayy harder to play than guitar it also has a longer neck. if you play guitar and pick up a bass for the first time you will feel overwhelmed. trust me. sure its SIMILAR but just becuase your a guitar pro dosent mean you can play bass. try it out, go to a music store and pick up a bass. youll feel weird.

i havent ever played a bass, bu† i do play guitar. i agree that bass does took harder just because the strings are HUGE and the neck and frets are longer. it looks harder though i bet that a guitarist could learn to play bass well.

Absolutely! I’ve taught both. It may seem a little intimidating, but if you’re proficient at playing guitar, then making the switch to bass will just take a little getting used to. You won’t be great right away, but definitely sufficient, the key word here is sufficient. Bassists have to work just as hard as guitarists to become great. The last band I was in, the bassist and I would switch instruments occasionally just for the fun of it.
Note: If you play bass with your fingers, you will have to go through the finger soreness stage (this time on your right hand), just like when you were first learning to play guitar.
