    Bass and guitar are both cool. Bass you will always have a spot in a band, and with guitar you will be more well rounded and be able to also play bass. Here is an important tip….if you are going to learn guitar learn on an acoustic!!! Please just trust me on this one, you will be a much better player in the long run if you start on an acoustic. I reccommend an acoustic/electric guitar which is an acoustic with a guitar pickup inside. Here are some excellent brands for guitar and bass as well as models….

    Ibanez!!!
    Squier-standard strat guitar, jazz bass
    fender- any guitar or bass
    epihphone-les paul standard guitar
    schecter-any of them
    spector- any
    olp-basses

    Amps….

    Fender
    Marshall
    Line 6
    (all of them are excellent brands, HIGHLY reccomended!!)

    Effects….

    Boss
    Crybaby
    Line 6
    Korg
    DIGITECH SUCKS DO NOT BUY!!!

    Neither. The best advice any guitarist will give to a beginner is to start out with an acoustic. Why? Because you build your calluses faster, you can learn to feel your way around a guitar better (than you would an electric), you learn chords before tackling on an easy thing like the bass, and all the basics are on an acoustic. It’s like math. You don’t learn calculus without learning algebra.

    Too add to the reasons for an Accustic, they are also a bit cheaper. To play a bass or electric, you need a decent amp cords and all that. If you don’t enjoy playing, or give up right away as my brother did, you will have spent even more money on a pile of stuff sitting in your closet. Buy a decent Accustic for under 250 or 300, not a super cheap starter, as they suck and will only frustrate you.

    I started on an Ibanez, they work great for a beginner, smaller necks and a low action makes they fairly easy to play.
