You can start in either place.
Just decide whether you want to be a guitarist or a bassist and try to be the best on your chosen instrument. Lots of great guitarists are crappy bass players. Knowing the notes on the neck is only a tiny part of being a good instrumentalist.
Good bass players are extremely valuable to a band. It's not a glory instrument (and when people make it into one the results are usually horrible), but it is SO important.
Just decide which way to go, and go all the way.
And remember, just because the bass only has four strings doesn't mean it's any "easier" to learn and play well. It just happens to have four strings.
