Bass is easier to pick up. It doesn't take as long to go from "sounds like a cat with its tail caught in the door" to something that could be identified as something resembling a song. But it has other issues that need to be addressed to be actually good. Funny enough, one of the things that novice bass players can't get under control is what they're not playing. I.e. the strings that they don't use but start to ring (and do this usually out of tune).

I've heard from two people that they found bass boring. But if I'm being honest, the only three people that I would pick up a bass for would be Mike Dirnt, Sting and Krist Novoselic.

"How bout I quit and you can find a new bass player? No wait, I was just kidding" -Ron McGovney

People who don't think bass matters are people who don't understand how music works.

More: 'Ugh I forgot my strap/picks/lead' 'Sorry I'm late' 'I forgot to practice, how does that part go again?' 'Hang on I need to warm my fingers up' 'Hey can I tune off of your guitar?' 'So what note is that? *looks at fretboard* I don't know which note that is' -Me, every time I play/record

Honestly, at times, it's very much the other way around. Love all them guys, but damn, sometimes their genres bind them to play a certain thing. Flea is not bound to such constraints. Man, some of his note choices are "HUH?" but that's almost always immediately followed by "WOAH.."

When you're the bass player and you avoid getting in any conflict with the other members. "I'll play whatever you want me to play, or I won't play at all if you don't want me to play. What ever it is you want me to do, I'll do it." -George Harrison ^^That but for bassists^^

"Do you listen to MUSE at all?" This hits too close to home.

as a bass player, this is hilarious.

The one time my old band tried tracking one of our songs separately instead of live I show up to record my bass part and the drummer and rhythm guitarist told me they changed the drum pattern for the verses. I had been practicing and refining my part to the live recording for a week and then they changed it so much that I had to write a new part on the spot. I wish they had told me ahead of time lol.

As someone who plays both guitar and bass, I can tell you for a fact that bass and guitar is that guitar, is definitely harder to start than bass, however I would say the more you play they’re more or less as hard as each other. Also completely different instruments.
