I understand that you may want to define a bass as a guitar on the premise that the electric kind, such as the one this young fellow is playing, is often called a "bass guitar" or even "electric bass guitar". However, this does not classify it as a guitar. A guitar is defined as that instrument which, more often than not, has six strings tuned to EADGBE and is played in treble clef.
If you want to loosen the definition to encompass the instrument which, more often than not, has four strings tuned to EADG that we call a "bass", then you're opening the possibilities to also define banjos, violins, cellos, etc. as "guitars" as you have completely bastardized the definition to imply some wider superset of stringed instruments as opposed to something quite specific.
If you can find me a bassist who is credited on an album as playing the "guitar", then you have a point. Until then, you are simply a stupid fucking /b/tard.
