i started on bass, then my bass was stolen, I had a guitar and it was cheaper to just learn guitar. I still play bass and have gotten another since, but I am more of a guitarist now.
nothing beats locking in on a tight groove with a drummer and letting the guitarists do what they want though. It's essential for a bassist to be dead on with the drummer, otherwise they're not really playing bass, IMO.

I'd fall in the "enjoys them equally" category.... but I kinda play them in waves. I might go weeks or months straight playing one or the other only.
I don't usually like what I do with bass when I play it for the concept of a song. I've got equal love for it and give it the same attention, but usually better placed into a song later. I am excited though. I just picked up a nice, used Fender Jazz V (pretty much my dream bass) last week.... so plan to play bass a lot more to come. Blood blisters a'hoy! I'm playing an unforgiving Warwick Streamer 6-string. It's a fantastic bass too and covers so many tones, but overall, they all sound too round... almost boxy. It makes a good, "bass as ornamental instrument" or foreground instrument.... but can't do the full, fat, warm, sitting under the mix Fender P, Fender Jazz thing.
