Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: What is the different between in these Lead guitar and bass guitar? can anyone give 5 different between those guiter . Your average guitar has 6 strings, while a bass has 4 strings that are one octave lower than the guitar's bottom 4 strings. The drums are rhythm, the bass connects the rhythm to the harmony, the rhythm guitar provides the harmony while reinforcing the rhythm, and the lead guitar usually plays the melody. Without rhythm and harmony the melody is basically nothing. The song is or at least should be a whole, not just a wanky lead guitar over a rhythm section. But that's a downfall in many less mature players - focusing entirely on trying to be a rockstar and not enough on learning how to be a musician. Sometimes the bass can carry the melody, just like the concept of a rhythm guitar and a lead are interchangeable, but it isn't very common except in fills or bass solos. Of course there are differences like the bass guitar having a longer scale length, thicker gauge strings, etc. It is very common for bass guitars to have active pickups, while it is less common for guitars to have active pickups.
