      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.

    Actually in my country, Greece. Musicians that lived in areas that were under poverty used to use tuned down classical guitars as bass and played only with a pick. And because they were used to playing guitar and didn't know any bass techniques they managed to create some pretty "irregular" but good basslines.
    A pretty good example is the song: Don't leave me again (Μη μου ξαναφύγεις πια). You can copy the Greek title to check it out.

Meaning you can play any bass riff on an 8 string with the right scale length and string gage and it will sound EXACTLY THE SAME. better yet get a bass Amp and YOU especially wouldn't even know the difference.
