      Incorrect, most people just put the shitty guitar player on bass and we end up with an epidemic of shitty bass players.
      Sucks too, because guitar needs bass to fill in the low end.

      Well the point of a guitar isn’t really to go low unless you’re playing like Metal or something, it’s point is more so for chords, power chords, riffs, and solos with higher notes. Whilst the bass can do the same stuff but is for the lower notes. Meaning that they both serve a different role and are both equally valuable.

      As such, get a 5 string bass, get a 7 string or a baritone guitar to match it, and go to work.

    that's not true at all, maybe if person is a beginner on both instruments, but given the time even if bassist picks up guitar for the first time he will play with chords, the stereotype of bassist playing basslines on guitar is growing old.

    Guitars stregnth is in rock and metal, with distortion. Distortion inflates their ego.
    Even in most jazz bands you dont see a guitar.
    You only see jazz guitar in quiet calm settings (for the most part) because its just too soft to cut through the other loud jazz instruments,
    To add, i groove hard, i make bodies move, guitars dont do that like i do,
    Guitars just yell, bassists make a song danceable
