getting the bass one is a better deal. but electris guitars are cooler.
Trade...its a good deal
........Whichever one you like best!!! But me, I would choose electric
bass guitars are for people that gave up on real guitars
if u are sure it is a safe site, it's a good deal. just realize that you'll have to learn a whole different scale since learning guitar would be treble cleft and bass is bass cleft. if you want to really find out which instrument would be best for you you should listen to a song and keep the beat with your hands. which sounds most like the beat ur going for-the guitar or the bass? whichever one it is, that's the instrument u should play. also, find what instrument sounds best to you personally.
It's really up to you to decide which instrument fits you better and which is the one you really long to play. From your question, though, I assume you don't even have any passionate feelings for none. I don't know what kind of guitar you have but this bass doesn't look a quality instrument. It might be better to save up for an amp. You can also use your computer with a better sound card and an amp modeling software where you can choose from a wide range of simulated amplifiers. Crappy quality but just all right for a beginner to practice.
I'm not sure what kind of guitar you have, and I can't tell what bass it is. The fact that the seller doesn't know the brand either can possibly mean that they don't want you to know for some reason. In addition, the amp looks pretty cheap. You can buy a good practice amp for around $70 if you want. Personally, I would never dream of trading my guitar for a bass. A lot of guitar players could easily transition to bass, but not the other way around. Stick with the guitar is what I say. Here's a link for a good practice amp, it's cheap and I like it a lot. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Line-6-Spider-III-15-15W-1x8-Guitar-Combo-Amp-103944831-i1168996.gc
