As far as which is easier, I’d say they are about the same. I think it depends solely on what you play. Although the scales are the same shape, dont expect to play the same thing on the bass as you do on the guitar. Technically, basses have drainpipes for strings, which can really chew your finger ends. The frets are further apart which makes your fingers tiered faster. Practice cures both of these things so it is not a biggy.
If you are going to get a bass, you may want to think carefully about scale length, as my Peavey Cirrus is a monster relative to the little Squire P- fellow. Strings are important 2, I’m playing GSH boomers and I love them. It is also worth checking out flat as opposed to round wound strings.
I’m using a Line6 Bass Pod, which is very versatile; you can go from Lemmy to Mark King with ease! It is great for recording with. I have never gigged with it but have no reason to think It would suddenly die on me.
Best of luck dude
