    Any real guitarist/bass-guitarist would know that's completely untrue. I've been a guitarist for years and I'm at a decent level and bass is a completely different concept. It's like saying that if you can play guitar then you can play violin.

    I play guitar and bass, while I find it easier to play bass its not as easy to be a competent bassist as people make out.

    It is easy to play bass competently, because overly complex (especially slapped) bass lines are just **WRONG** and should not ever be played.

    i play a bit of latin percussion and a bit of keyboard, i suppose you could class reason and cubase as keyboard as you still have to play keys on the keyboard to make a sound through reason, unless drawing the notes in or using the matrix, (yawns)... there is a lot of skill to using reason as it is so vast and overusing some of the items can make it sound horrific
