Should I learn how to play guitar before I learn how to play bass?

Question by Ariel: Should I learn how to play guitar before I learn how to play bass?
I want to play bass, but many people say that I should learn guitar first. Is it really important to learn guitar first? I’m saving up to buy my instrument and don’t want to spend more than I need to. But at the same time I don’t want to have a poor foundation for what I will learn.

Thanks :D

Answer by no it all ash
i started playing bass when i was 11 and then switched to guitar. it depends on what you have an interest in…. guitar is better if you want to sing as well as play and its a better instrument to play alone. i found myself getting bored playing bass when i wasnt with a band. both instruments require alot of technique so it definatly not a cop out to wanna learn either.
