Question by Derick G: What is a good arguement to make that bass guitar is better than regular guitar? are there any?
me & my guitarist are being dumb and were saying that our instrument is better than the other. I play bass he plays guitar if you can’t tell. What are some points I can make that bass guitar is harder or better than regular guitar. I know there really isn’t but lets brainstorm here.

It looks cooler(I know its opinion)
It keeps the beat(in other words, it’s the leader!)

I have to say (I play both) that I like guitar a lot, but bass is much “cooler”. in guitar you can do much more, though… take elliott smith, for example: he played the bass on his guitar and played the melody too (at the same time, so guitar requires more, but is also more).
the argument is a choice of opinion, but both guitar and bass guitar are friggin awesome
Well, if you really wanted to argue the point, you could say guitar was better than bass because it plays the melody of a song, and a bass just plays, well, the bass line. But my personal opinion is that bass and guitar sort of need each other to bring out the best in each other, like a good friendship.
Most folks can’t sing that low – the bass makes unique sounds!
