1. What, if any, are the differences between guitar and bass? I realize that both are technically guitars, and that bass is generally a deeper sound, but that is the extent of my knowledge.

A bass is technically a guitar, but it's pretty much always referred to just as a bass. The bass has four strings (usually) and a longer neck than a guitar, which has 6 strings. Generally speaking, bass parts are played one string at a time, rather than in chords. Guitar parts go either way. Bass players are often distinguished by *how* they play the bass - i.e., with fingers versus a pick, with how many fingers (it's usually two, but some really great players play with three), with all downstrokes (generally more of a punk/metal aesthetic), etc. Bass guitars tend to also be a bit heavier than regular 6-string guitars.

2. Can anyone who plays guitar play bass, and vice versa, or is Bill exceptionally talented, and Jim's out of luck?

Well, not really, no. But it's likely that a good guitar player could play bass, though they wouldn't necessarily be that great at it if they don't do it all the time. It's not nearly as easy for a bass player to play a guitar if they're not practicing guitar all the time. It is, however, very common for musicians to play more than one instrument, so it wouldn't be weird if your characters were able to play both guitar and bass.

3. I have a situation where Bill is chatting with a new friend and gets asked what instruments he plays. Would he actually say something like "Bass, and sometimes guitar", or is that just unnecessarily pedantic?

Nope, they're considered very different beasts.
