Learning bass might give you some quick results with simple tunes, but like any instrument, it’s not easy and requires dedication and practise, so don’t pick the low end for an easy win, but because you are drawn to it. Whilst you can certainly learn to play by watching videos, reading literature and playing along with recordings, as @SpondonBassed says, it is by playing with others and the dynamics that that involves that you will learn best and become a properly rounded musician.
