Electric or bass guitar

[PhineasJWhoopee]

Which is in more demand? My son plays both but he seems to get more requests to play bass.

cuz nobody else plays bass. there's nothing quite as gratifying as hammering out G notes for 4 minutes.

 

[Gibson486]

There are less bassists out there, so supply and demand.

 

[Platypus]

bass is more sought after

 

[Krazy4Real]

Get a bass guitar and a bigger amp than the guitarist. Crank that and drown out the lead guitarist with your sick bass FTW!

 

[KeithTalent]

Bass is more fun, but he'll get a lot more chicks with guitar.

bass is boring.
at least in rock band.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

In case nobody else mentioned it, there are less bassists, so they are harder to come by. This is apparently a widely held secret.

I guess, but you can do some amazing stuff with a bass.

Plus, what no else wants to do = opportunity.

Learn to play, noob! I play bass now and it certainly isn't boring.

Harmonic scales, chromatic scales, blah blah blah, you can have a LOT of fun with 4 strings.

Bass players are guitarist that didn't make the cut

I prefer to think of it as bass players avoiding the evolution into eccentric egotistical attention whoring frontmen with two extra strings that think they're god's gift to the opposite sex and everyone else.

electric or base guitar?


there are electric and acoustic bases.

[Fritzo]

BTW- this is why good drummers are so hard to find. Nobody can stand them practicing.

Then there is the bass players that get all pissy because of that, buying two extra strings and insist to slap every note like they are effing Claypool.

rock band is nothing like playing music. it equals 0 experience when it comes to musicianship.

Yep, doesn't matter what instrument they play, the attitudinal ones are always a pain. Good thing most of the attitudinal players are frontmen

 

[Terzo]

I would go with bass but that's because I have a terrible sense of rhythm. Hopefully learning bass would help counteract that.

I tried to play like Flea and failed.
