The simplest difference between guitar and bass guitar is the pitch range of the instruments. Bass guitar plays notes an octave lower than a regular guitar. Think of the song 'Another One Bites the Dust' by Queen. The first few notes you hear are the sound of the bass guitar.

When it comes to bass vs. guitar, one of the biggest differences between the two instruments is in their respective number of strings. Most guitars have six strings while the majority of basses only have four strings. There are, however, some exceptions to the rule.
