only fat people, ugly people or girls play bass

Bass is a girls instrument, yes. All the best bassists I know are male, though.

Probably really ugly as well

yeah, having a decent rhythm section is damn important. You can usually lose all the rhythm guitars and still put out a good performance, I've always approached the guitar as the extra flavoring. I mean sure, you NEED a pizza base to make pizza, but it tastes boring and shit without all the 'nonessential' stuff. Purple haze would've been rather shitty on keys/bass/accordion/flute, which is why we have more than 3 instruments in the world.

But comparing instruments head to head really is pointless. If there was a best instrument, everyone would just make music on that, and nothing else, hurr.

the only girl bassist i know of is the bassist from White Zombie

The only girl bassist I knew is the girl from the subways.

How about the girl from All That Remains.

There's a huge number of girls learning bass in highschoool and at conservatoriums. I'd know since I totally work in the industry. It's developed the reputation of being a "girls instrument" merely as a joke.

me personaly would prefer guitar..more or less electric guitar

i play gutar electric guitar and bass and i find depending on what type of music im playing or what mood im in changes my choice

bass is good for the blues

but electric is good for rock and heavy metal

acoustic is good for things like rhythm and other types of music

I prefer Guitar because I play it.
