How do you find the frets on a bass guitar?
Frets are marked on the bass guitar the same way as they are on the electric guitar or acoustic guitar. Metal lines run across the neck. If you're talking about a fretless bass then you shouldn't have to ask this question. It would be a big mistake to try learn the fretless bass before the standard bass. The frets are in the same positions but you should instinctively know where your fingers should be before advancing to fretless

Can you learn guitar and bass?
Guitar and bass are very similar. They both have a similar build and use basically the same overall technique, with many nuance differences. The guitar has six strings, and the bass has four. The four strings on a bass are the same as the four lowest sounding strings on a guitar. The biggest differences between the two are that the guitar uses chords and scales, whereas the bass uses mostly just scales, and the guitar has two more strings than a bass. Since the guitar uses chords and has two more strings, it is a little bit trickier to learn than the bass. Therefor, if you know guitar fairly well, you should be able to play bass without ever taking a lesson, whereas if you know bass fairly well, it will be a little bit more effort to learn the guitar.
Why is the Electric Bass called this?
Because it is designed to be used with an amplifier. ************************************************************* Also because in a band or something that is the bass that keeps the rhythym and its low. Not only is it designed to be used with an amplifier if u have ever seen a double bass they are pretty much the same thing (playing wise) I would know that because i play the double bass and the electric bass guitar!!!
Should you learn electric bass if you're not in a band but want to play bass or learn guitar first?
I think you should play bass first. It is a slower part and is easier for beginners. I think you should learn guitar first before playing the bass one. I think you should learn how to play guitar first because you at least will know the notes and know how to plaY A little. They're both guitars but can be played differently. If you like the funkyness or the low tone of the bass, go for it. Its a little difficult than guitar since theres different ways to play it, but if you want to shred and have fun the E. Guitar, go for that. Its up to you. You say you want to learn to play the bass, so learn bass first.
