If you wanna learn guitar or bass its gonna take many times more to learn guitar than a bass, so in a way it is easy to learn - but there are no instruments that are easy to master.

That's bullshit Paul. Fair enough learning to play route notes of power chords on bass and playing in a sub-standard punk band is pretty easy..but learning to play bass involves a lot more than that.

Im afraid I have to agree with Paul. Bass is much easier to learn than guitar. They are both equally difficult to master though in my opinion.

Much easier to learn?

Much easier to learn what exactly?

Much easier to learn some Blink 182?

Much easier to learn some Victor Wooten?

Don't be such an idiot.

I was once told that "ALL guitarists can play bass excellently" but I found even though I can kind of play acoustic guitar, that I could hardly sound a note on bass. SLap bass looks like a pretty extreme technique to master which I doubt all guitarists could do just like that...apparently bass is harder for girls cause of smaller hands which I could be swayed to believe, even though there are a few good known female bassists.
