I love this quote from Lamb Of God's bassist (I'm not hating on you guys): “Bassists are just failed guitar players.” When you think about it there are a lot of bassists who started out on guitar, but then switched to bass because it was easier for them.
And a numbers game. Many bands started by having a converted guitar player. W.A.S.P. For instance. Personally, I've always been partial to the feel of the bass. I would rather be a grooving bass player than just another crappy guitarist.
Specifically a crappy rhythm guitarist. I don't know why, but bassists always play rhythm. The only reason I do is because it's easier for me when singing and it gives me less to focus on at one time.

Well as you can see, it isn't the case for everyone :p
