Easy to start, hard to master.

This. I've had friends learn bass in a week and start playing in bands. They sucked ass at first, but most people don't notice/don't care, and they naturally improved with time.

Probably the two most important things about playing bass are: creating and maintaining a groove, and locking in with the other musicians. Which is way, way harder than what it takes to shred on guitar or play blastbeats on drums.

bass i incredibly easy if you do the bare minimum. it is a necessary instrument that works well even if it's "hiding"

unlike guitar, which is boring as fuck when simple because it naturally takes the spotlight, and is held up against the 10 billion guitarists that have come prior.

that doesn't mean that bass has a low ceiling of expression. quite the contrary. bass can also take the stage in an amazing way yet still be subtle, just due to the nature of sound.

not as easy as ur mom

agree

This absolutely.

Basslines range from single held notes once per couple measures to fucking shredding it harder than most guitar solos.

I second this
