Bass & Guitar help, RnP?

Alright, well I own a bass but I’m not sure how to play it.. because I’m not sure how you go learning how to play bass. Seeing as with guitar there are chords, but with bass I think there are only a few chords which aren’t actually used often. Should I just learn how to play guitar first? If not, where should I start with bass?

Secondly, for guitar. I used to take lessons but my teacher was pretty sh*tty, I mean he didn’t give me any tips or anything, honestly the only thing I learned was how to tune my guitar without an automatic tuner. Anyways, I need some of the basic tips that make a large affect on playing, because I never learned many of them. So any tips on holding guitar, chords transitions and picking would be great. I need to make sure I’m not getting into any bad habits with the way I’m playing.
