Your Definition

A larger, lower form of the [electric guitar], and a relatively young instrument that can be played in many different ways.

Some people think that the bass is easy to play or useless or rah rah.  To some degree, this is true.  Most pop songs' basslines have a one-note range, and in a lot of extremely hard rock the bass is completely drowned out (between multiple [distortion] guitars and a guy screaming his lungs out).  Being a bassist is a "skill-optional" thing; if you just want to be in a band and be a wallflower you more than likely can find one.

However, a GOOD bassline will make the music far far better.  There are many skilled virtuostic players (billy sheehan, jaco, vic wooten, etc).  Many Japanese VK bands have a very powerful bassline; Tetsu, Toshiya, J, are all good [ones].  And who can forget Flea.  A good bassline drives a song and makes you shake your booty.  And slap bass is teh pwn j00 nooby guitar.

Bass doesn't suck.  But a lot of bassists do, and can [get away with it] because their band can't find any others and just drown them out.
