For starters, a standard guitar has six strings, while a bass guitar usually has only four (there are five and even six-string models for advanced styles.) Regarding the sound and role of the instruments, the guitar is in a higher register than the bass guitar, and is more commonly used as the lead instrument in a band than the bass (there are some exceptions to this). The Bass Guitar, as the name suggests, is in a lower register and is most frequently part of the rhythm section of a band. Again, many genres of music do incorporate bass leads, such as funk (Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers), Alternative/Metal (Les Claypool of Primus) and jazz fusion (Jaco Pastorius) styles.
An electric bass guitar is simply a bass with the electronic anatomy of an Electric Guitar. Like a six-string electric guitar, an electric bass guitar uses magnetic pickups to "pick up" the vibrations created by the strings and send the sound signal to an amplifier. Effects may also be used to alter the sound quality of the signal.
Well a bass has a low sound electric has to be played with an amp and guitar acoustic can be played any where
In theory a bass and a guitar both have a vital role in a band and even though the guitar is looked up to more by people do not let this put you of learning the bass, as there are way too many guitar players to bassists ratio.

∙ 11y agoA bass guitar has 4 strings and sounds much lower than an electric or acoustic guitar.
Both electric and acoustic Guitars have 6 strings, but the electric needs an electricity-powered amplifier to sound clear and loud, while an acoustic naturally sounds richer and lighter without an amplifier.

It is difficult to find an acoustic bass which resonates at sufficient volume to be worth it. That said, an acoustic-electric will make it easier to practice as you won't need to plug it in to hear yourself playing at home. They each have a slightly different sound, but if you can already practice with a full size amp without worrying about the volume disturbing others you will generally find it cheaper to go with an electric bass.
