Bass Guitar can play much lower notes and is used for backing up the other melodic instruments and Electric Guitar is more for the leading parts of the song and it can have a wide variety of pedals (different sounds) added to it.

Musically they do the same notes at each fret so you can go straight from one to the other. They both have the same number of strings 6, or 12.

They both have the same parts except pick-ups and switches on electonics. They are both held the same way, and played similarly.

In a sense, both are electric. A typical 'Electric Guitar' is for notes in the treble clef, and is generally capable of playing any melody. A Bass guitar is for notes in the bass clef, as the name suggests. It generally plays the lower parts underneath the melody.

They are the exact same instrument in all respects except one: the body. The body of an electric bass is often solid wood and slender, while an acoustic bass guitar is bulky and hollow like an acoustic guitar's.

What is the difference between an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar?

There are many differences:An electric guitar can be plugged into an amp, while an acoustic guitar can't.An acoustic guitar has a completely different sound. It produces it sound through natural sound amplification while an electric guitar uses electronic pick-ups as well as an electronic amplifier to produce its sound.Acoustic guitars are always hollow, while the majority of electric guitars are solid.An acoustic guitar is much more portable because it is lighter and doesn't need a heavy amp to produce sound.Acoustic guitars are generally larger in size. They require a larger body to produce their amplified sound. The sound the acoustic guitar produces is much more dependent on the body size, types of wood used and shape of the body than the electric guitar is.Electric guitars are generally designed with slimmer necks/bodies and have easier access to higher frets.Also, if you want an acoustic sound while also being able to make it louder, you can attach a pick-up to it to make an electric-acoustic guitar or you can just buy an electric-acoustic guitar from the start.
