My guitar is one octave lower than yours.

Yeah it isn't exactly new to play melodic lines on your bass (Sir Paul, Jaco, Rocco, Jamerson...)

As long as you refrain from overplaying and have good timing, you should be fine.

BTW, you might want to try out a baritone guitar if you don't want to call your instrument a bass anymore...
