yes, many classic basslines are relativlty simple, not too long after i got my first guitar i broke the minor E string off, because i couldnt find anyone to replace it i was stuck with a 5 string guitar, so i would downtune my guitar, turn up the bass, turn the treble completely off and play my guitar like a bass...most of the first things i learned were basslines....heres some interesting trivia, in the early years of black sabbath, geezer butler couldnt afford a bass, so he would clip the minor E and B strings on his guitar and just use the same method i did and play it like a bass.
