guitar and bass

Hello!

A friend of mine asked me if I could play bass in his band, and I'm acctually thinking of it.. I suppose it could be good to master more instruments than just guitar to be a even better guitarist.

Here is some of the biggest differences with a bass:

Seems to be a longer distance between the frets (should improve my stretch, the space between the strings are wider (could improve my speed on the guitar), the strings are thicker (makes my fingertips hardened, and I could perhaps improve my picking hand's speed, if I use a pick).

Am I right, or will I instead lose some of my guitarskill, if I won't be able to practice as much as I used to. Does anyone of you have some experience in this issue?

See you around, everyone!
