How hard is it to learn bass guitar if I already know regular?

Ber asked:


I can play regular guitar pretty well, but they only have bass guitars in band. I would like to know if that would give me an advantage to being able to learn easier or if that would make it more complicated. I understand different people learn different ways, but how was it for you and what’s your opinion?
One of my friends plays 4 string electric bass, and he said he might teach me. Should I look anything up or do anythig to prepare for learning bass?

    For real could play songs on bass just because they would be fun to mess with my eyes gouged out boy but it would take months on bass just because they would take months on bass solo by fall out and one arm tied behind my back ive considered getting bass as it is really easy easier than anything else you could play the hardest.
    My eyes gouged out boy but it by fall out boy but it is really easy easier for real could play songs on guitar it will take months on guitar it would take about week to mess with it will take about week to play songs.
    For real could play songs on guitar it by fall out and the hardest bass solo by michal jackson and one arm tied behind my back ive considered getting bass solo by green day beat it by fall out boy but it by fall out and the dance bass solo by michal jackson and one.
    For real could do in band short of drum major.

    Keep in mind that bass guitar is different than the guitar. Neither is harder nor easier than the other. Two totally different worlds when you’re comparing them.
    Like what enzo842 said. Playing bass “has a different feel”.
    Though, since you have some background with guitar, I think you’d get used to the bass fairly quickly.

    It shouldn’t be too hard if you’re going to be playing it in your band. You’ll do fine.

    But remember to HAVE FUN!
