I definitely had similar issues with bass, it would have made more sense for me to start with guitar. Though either way, I do my best work when I'm programming synths. And I never really got good enough at bass to play the kinds of lines that made me pick up bass in the first place, anyway ...

I started with guitar, but quickly grew bored with it because I'd rather play bass. Never really seriously played any instrument after that, though I have two guitars and three accordions laying around, along with another guitar, a ukelele and two keyboards from my kids. I guess I'm more of a collector.

I was fairly obsessed with bass, too, when I started playing instruments. I guess guitar never would have worked for me back then.
