A bass has two less strings so it's easier for dumb people to learn.
A bass has less notes to learn so you can get into a band faster.


That was why I chose to take up bass instead of guitar when I first got into music. About a year later I decided that guitar looked like more fun and look at me now. Still haven't been in a band though. You forgot to mention that a bass also has strings further apart though so people with bad accuracy won't hit the wrong string.
