Bass is probably the easiest to play. Unfortunately, it's one of the few instruments that's no fun to play standalone. I learned to play bass before playing guitar. You can always tell a guitar player moving to bass because they try to just mimic the guitarist's notes instead of playing along with the drums or going off a beaten path.

If you're doing it right it's not.

this is true. I bought a nice Warwick Alien Deluxe acoustic/electric 5 string a few years ago, and it kind of just sits in the corner now. If anyone wants to buy it, hit me up.

All of this.

If you know anything about music, I could teach you to be functional on the bass in an afternoon.

It's probably one of the lowest bars to entry of any musical instrument however like the others have said here, to actually be good at it requires a lot of work.

My advice is that less is usually more when it comes to playing the bass.
