I want to learn an instrument (bass, DJ, Trombone, guitar)

I disagree really. An instrument is as hard as you make it. If you're going to do the whole 'play a root note once or twice per bar', then bass will be easy.

If you're going to work on truly developing groove, perfect tone and muting, three finger technique etc, then I don't see how bass can be called an easy instrument.

Yeah. My dad is totally interested in teaching me drums. He's glad to see that I have an interest in it. Me and him didn't use to get along well :-P. Now maybe he can help get me off and running. Back when I did trombone I remember rythm and beats were my biggest problem so maybe learning percussion will help. but I will also focus heavy on piano sinse it is a great place to start. If you could give me sheet music or post it on internet or I'll give you my email thats awesome. thanks guys i didnt think posting on a forum would get me this much advice. If you guys can help me more thats cool too lol, I don't kno whether i could use more advice or not really.
