Hi, I am hobbyist musician. I play keyboards and I know bit of music theory. I am thinking about playing bass guitar.

My question is do I have to learn to play regular guitar (6 strings) or can I jump straight into the bass guitar (4 strings)

TIA

I would say go straight to bass - and expect to be invited to join a band in 6 months. Bassists are rare.

At one point I was a semi professional guitarist, so answer based on experience
