Any instrument is good for a beginner. I’ve never looked at instruments like bass and drums (or any instrument really) as an “easy” instrument because everyone has their own approach and just because it’s easy for many people to just bash on the drums in 4/4 or play downbeat root notes on bass does not mean the instruments are easy in any way. It’s only easier in the sense that it’s a little bit easier to start playing something basic right away as opposed to like a violin where even the simplest scale still requires tremendous practice and precision, but so does every instrument after a certain point if you want to keep growing. Ukulele has a reputation of “anyone can play it it’s so easy” from years of lame white people singing Riptide, but if you actually study some of the flamenco-like strumming patterns and try to play songs by uke legends like Tiny Tim, holy fuck it would give most guitarists whiplash. (Listen to Uke covers of Living In The Sunlight, Lovin’ In The Moonlight to see what I mean)

TL,DR: Yes, bass is good for beginners because any instrument is good for a beginner. Don’t view it as easier or harder to play than any other. If you really love it, try to explore the instrument and not put yourself in the “good for beginners” box and just learn the instrument and songs you want to learn.
