In a rock band, the bass is essentially a rhythm instrument, that carries the rhythm of the song along with the drums. Anyone who can play electric guitar could also play a bass guitar to an extent, because the layout of the instruments are pretty much the same. But it would take skill and practice on the guitar players' part to be able to play complicated bass lines.
Most bass players could probably play guitar too, to some extent, just because it's such an easy instrument to learn. But again, it would take skill and practice on the bass player's part to play the complicated guitar parts.
Not sure if that helped.

Sorry for late reply, got called into work.

Is there a reason for there to be extra rhythm other than the drums? Or are particular musicians listening for something specific? I don't know if that makes any sense... it made sense in my head last night. Also, it's not vital to the plot, I was just curious. I have a hard time distinguishing between instruments when listening to music, so it's probably a simple thing I'm just not getting.

Thanks :)

No, that question makes sense. I'd say the bass adds to the fullness of the sound, and can carry a melody, unlike the drums. Here's an example of a drummer and bassist playing together, if you're interested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry7gaiqGzBk
Also, because it's a rhythm instrument, most people wouldn't use a bass to accompany themselves singing, like someone might do with an instrument like a piano or guitar.

Yeah, it can sometimes be a challenge to write about a topic you're not familiar with. Good luck on your fic, anon!

Oh wow. This just cleared up so many things for me. I had always heard that the drums kept the rhythm, but they never sounded like song to me. I think I get it now. The video helped a lot, thanks!
