All things considered equal, I would still say that an electric guitar is a more versatile and flexible instrument than a bass though.
EDIT: Since SMX seems to be a bass player, of course I would have to defer to his opinion on that instrument. However, my point of view as an electric guitar player who owns and occasionally fiddles around with a bass is that if you know how to play a guitar, you can use it to play rhythm guitar in a band or play lead. I don't think it's any coincidence that a band will usually have one rhythm guitarist and at least one lead guitarist but rarely will a band have more than one bassist.

I'm not trying to give the bass guitar a bad rap, but an electric guitar simply has a wider range, plus with its frets being narrower and strings being softer, a person with equal skills on both instruments would be able to navigate and play an electric guitar (with the bends, slides, hammers, pulls and whatever else) with more ease than a bass.

First: A good reason why there is no use for more bassists is the overall sound. I am sure two bass guitars playing different lines would sound extremely muddy. Unless they play in perfect counterpoint, or play exactly the same bass line, it will simply not sound good. Just think how much difficulty Maiden have had to get a good production of the guitar sound from BNW onwards. It is at times very hard to separate the three guitars from each other in the mix (something which was easy in the 80s). That would be even harder with two bass guitars.

Besides: A good bassist can play for two  :D

RealMaidenFan,

If you really want advice then don't worry about what brand or colour guitar you buy at this stage, just buy the first one you see in your price range and learn how to play it. Once your skills become intermediate, then go to some music shops where you can try and play a few different guitars and amps and pick one you like the sound of.
 
Thanks but I can pay only once,And I will not buy another guitar for  3-4 years so I want to start playing with a good Guitar.

Well PMing me about this is pretty lame, I already saw it and didn't have anything to say.
 
We are not the sons of God
We are not his chosen people now
We have crossed the path he trod
We will feel the pain of his beginning

Shadow fingers rise above
Iron fingers stab the desert sky
Oh behold the power of man
On its tower, ready for the fall

Knocking heads together well
Raze a city, build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Yellow sun its evil twin
In the black the wings deliver him
We will split our souls within
Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Bury your morals and bury your dead
Bury your head in the sand
E=mc2 you can relate
How we made God with our hands

Whatever would Robert have said to his God
About how he made war with the sun
E=mc2 you can relate
How we made God with our hands

All nations are rising through acid veils of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan, uncertainty leads us all to this
All nations are rising through acid veils of love and hate
Cold fusion and fury

Divide and conquer while ye may
Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers where we'll die
There the executioners they lie

Bombers launch with no recall
Minute-warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won't have the time to cry

Out of the universe, a strange love is born
Unholy union, trinity reformed

Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Holy Father we have sinned



Yes, anything with an attachment reminds me of thousand_suns.
