POLLYNAPOLEON registered: 9/23/2004 00:00 posts: 166	Guitar or Bass? Right now I play guitar, but I think I would like to play bass guitar as well. Is bass guitar easier than guitar? What are the major differences between the two. Is bass guitar more fun than guitar? Can anybody help me out?

Sjokolata registered: 10/9/2004 00:00 posts: 3	bass Bass is easier cuz you don't have to learn chords. But then again the strings are heavier to play. I play violin, because I was to small for a bass when I started and drums were too loud for the neighbours and my brother already played guitar. If I could chose again, I would do it again!

SqueeX25 registered: 9/1/2004 00:00 posts: 679	... Bass is indeed quite a bit easier. People who play guitar should have no problem playing bass, although people who start out with bass would have more trouble switching to guitar.

TheHivesAreMedicine registered: 7/25/2004 00:00 posts: 275	I... I play both. Guitar is more fun in the sense that u can do so much more songwriting wise. Bass is more fun because you can totally fucck around live and no one hears your mistakes usually - except the drummer.

00chaz registered: 7/19/2004 00:00 posts: 116	I play drums but bass is easier to play apparently but u have to learn lots of styles like funk where you use your thumb to hit the top string and guitar is hard but u get to do some awsome solos.
