Bass is nothing but the top four strings on a guitar. If you can play fast on the Bass then you'll have no problem playing fast on the smaller spaced frets and closer strings. The only thing you would have to really do would be to learn chords. I've played both for about 2 years now and enjoy them a lot. So good luck and have fun.

Bro your half way there.

I play both and love to warm up on the bass every day.

Probably the best thing you already know is how not to be a big headed guitar ******!

That and a thing or two about the groove.
