It depends on the bass type, but it generally falls into one of two solutions - it's either fixable with a setup change, or certain parts in question have become worn to the point where adjustment won't work anymore, and the instrument needs to be repaired.
First you need to find out why the strings are too close, and then go from there. Either way if you don't know enough about setups yourself, you'll need to take it to a competent tech who can tell you what the scoop is. Find a store in your area with a tech shop that's frequented a lot by local band musicians - they're usually the most reliable and reputable, because if they screw up, those same musicians know where to find them after getting booed off the stage because their instruments failed in the middle of a killer set.
Yes you can and they will work fine, the tone will be affected. The steel strings for an electric guitar (steel so they interact with the magnets on the pickup) will not sound as full and rich as the bronze strings designed for acoustic. In a pinch, they will work just fine! (but not visa-versa because of the magnet thing).
Yes but the strings would be like elastic bands and would be muddy to to the point of being almost unplayable. Yes because the 4 strings on the bass are an octave lower than the 3, 4, 5, and 6 strings on any guitar.
ok. your either not pressing hard enough on your strings,,,,or too close too the frets.....or your guitar needs a touch up... cuz your strings are too close too the neck if its a electric... on the bridge there should be some really tiny screws... tighten them...that wil raise your strings higher. or you can take it to a guitar shop or a proffessional
Electric Guitar and drums
Ground bass was most commonly used in the Baroque period (1600-1750) but has been used in many modern songs too. One of the most famous examples is Pachelbel'sCanon in D.
Your guitar strings may be hard to press because they are too high off the fretboard, the strings are old and need to be replaced, or the guitar neck may need adjustment.
You can, but you have to be very cautious about it. First you'll have to switch to heavy strings: standard 45-105 strings will be too loose on a ADGC tuning. Moreover, I strongly recommend to choose one of your instruments as tenor and keep it that way. Changing the tuning too often on your bass can have disastrous consequences on the neck.

To prevent fret wear on your guitar, regularly clean and condition the fretboard, use lighter gauge strings, and avoid pressing too hard when playing.
To determine if the Floyd Rose bridge on your guitar is too high, check if the strings are too far from the fretboard, making it difficult to play. If so, you may need to adjust the bridge height for better playability.
To produce clear and crisp notes on a guitar, you need to press the strings firmly against the frets with just enough pressure to make them touch the fretboard without pressing too hard.

Local music stores can usually help to get different kinds of guitar strings. However, there are some online stores that can help, too. For example Just Strings, Amazon, eBay and Best Buy.

Although i ave never tried this myself, i would not recomend it. Firstly, basses are normally longer than standard guitars, so the strings might not fit. Secondly, it totally defeats the object of having a bass fi you're going to shove strings that would make it sound like a guitar on it.======= Even short-scale basses are usually at least 30 inches long, and regular basses are 34 inches. The grooves cut on the nut of a bass are too large for guitar strings, and bass bridges were not designed to hold down guitar strings. The string spacing of a bass is completely unsuitable for guitar-style playing.If you want a guitar with a bass feel, try a baritone guitar.
The key differences between high and low action on a guitar are the height of the strings above the fretboard. High action means the strings are further away from the fretboard, while low action means the strings are closer to the fretboard. High action can make it harder to press down the strings, requiring more finger strength and potentially causing discomfort. It can also lead to a louder sound and more sustain. Low action makes it easier to press down the strings, allowing for faster and smoother playing. However, it can also cause buzzing or fret noise if the strings come into contact with the frets too easily. Overall, the action of a guitar impacts playability by affecting how easy it is to fret notes and perform techniques, and it also influences the sound by affecting the volume, sustain, and potential for buzzing.
Jazz and R&B are good for plucking. I've seen some folk artists use upright plucking too. Upright bass plucking is good for songs that aren't too heavy and have a relaxed feel.
