      Incorrect, most people just put the shitty guitar player on bass and we end up with an epidemic of shitty bass players.
      Sucks too, because guitar needs bass to fill in the low end.

    Guitars stregnth is in rock and metal, with distortion. Distortion inflates their ego.

    You only see jazz guitar in quiet calm settings (for the most part) because its just too soft to cut through the other loud jazz instruments,

    that's not true at all, maybe if person is a beginner on both instruments, but given the time even if bassist picks up guitar for the first time he will play with chords, the stereotype of bassist playing basslines on guitar is growing old. And the chances are that player owns both instruments just focuses on bass more.
