Bass Guitar

Have you thought about putting bass guitar lessons on here as well, I have been learning guitar on here and your website is awesome. I would like to learn to play the bass also. Any ideas?

What are the things on bass that you want to learn and apply that you've not learned here with guitar? As I see it, the bass is the same except it's got a longer neck, fatter strings and two less of them. However, the scales and music theory should apply.

Does the bass have a different place in the band? Sure, you bet, but you still would want to learn the same theory that applies to 6 strings.

Music theory is just 1 side of it. The different role in the band means you need to approach the instrument in a different way than with guitar. The last thing you want is a bassist that plays his bass like it's a guitar. There is a lot you need to learn as a bassist that is different than what this site has at the moment.

Technique is obviously completely different.

Check these places out:

studybass.com (lots of good lessons to get you started)
talkbass.com (kind of like the forum community here, but geared towards bass)

Sure, I can see that, which is why I was mostly suggesting the theory side of things and I mentioned that it has a different place in a band. :p
