I play bass with a latin band, dunno if it's the same thing. It's a bit easier than playing rock or metal.

I play bass.
The learning of the instrument, depends on what you wish to play. If you would be content with Krist Novaselic style, it should not be to difficult. If you wish to be Jaco or Les Claypool, then prepare for a bit more of a commitment.
Basses are easy enough to maintain. They do not require the incessant string changing of standard guitars. Amplification is more of an issue, being that you need to push more air with the instrument. Fortunately, solid state amps are more than up to the task.

and
Ebay are nice sources for used instrument.
