Dude, as much as I love to play bass, there is way more opportunity for piano/keyboard players. You can pursue both if you want, but I personally think you're better off studying piano and doing bass on your own time. I'd kill to be able to play piano. A piano player can always get gigs by himself, which automatically doubles your opportunities.

IMO you have answered your own question here. However, I definitely would not neglect the piano, especially since you have put in some ground work on it.

Unless you really hate playing the piano I would recommend you choosing it. Its not like your dropping playing the bass or anything.
