Ten chords sound great on the bass:
C major chord- 8th fret on the E string and 9th fret on the G string.
(add the 9th fret on the D string to make it a Cmaj7 chord) or
(add the 8th fret on the D string to make it a C7chord)
C minor chord- 8th fret on the E string and 8th fret on the G string.
(add the 8th fret on the D string to make it a Cm7chord)
Also playing in fifths sound good as well:
E5 chord- 7th fret on the A string and 9th fret on the D string.
Remember, you can move these chords anywhere on the instrument.
The trick to playing chords on the bass is to keep the notes further apart. Lower notes played closer together become muddy sounding.

Can you learn guitar and bass?
Guitar and bass are very similar. They both have a similar build and use basically the same overall technique, with many nuance differences. The guitar has six strings, and the bass has four. The four strings on a bass are the same as the four lowest sounding strings on a guitar. The biggest differences between the two are that the guitar uses chords and scales, whereas the bass uses mostly just scales, and the guitar has two more strings than a bass. Since the guitar uses chords and has two more strings, it is a little bit trickier to learn than the bass. Therefor, if you know guitar fairly well, you should be able to play bass without ever taking a lesson, whereas if you know bass fairly well, it will be a little bit more effort to learn the guitar.
