Just wanted to say I actually play guitar and a little bass, (in addition to some piano and a handful of other instruments) and if you would like to ask me any specific questions I'd be more than happy to answer them.

1. Typical electric basses have four strings, though they do also come in 5, 6, and sometimes more strings. Electric guitars are 6 strings. They have two strings that are higher notes than the 4 string bass. Bass strings are thicker than guitar strings, which is why the sound is lower.

2. Bass is played differently than guitar, but the basics are pretty easy to pick up for someone who already plays guitar. It's not uncommon for people to play both. Playing both doesn't make Bill exceptionally talented, unless he's playing them both exceptionally well; ie, he's just a talented musician.

3. Not pedantic. Like I said, different techniques, so definitely considered two different instruments.

Hi, and thanks! I would've replied sooner but I got called into work...

Umm offhand, I don't know how many strings his bass has, and I don't feel up to digging through the source to find out, so I'll go with 4. 4 sounds good.

I had just assumed, I guess, since it was a specialized guitar, that it was more complicated. Other comments in this thread seem to disagree on whether guitar > bass is easier or bass > guitar. I guess it depends on how much time and effort you put in.

Honestly, unless you write about a specific bass line using an extra string, you don't even need to mention how many strings his bass has.
