Been playing both guitar and bass guitar over the past year,

I'd say bass. Guitar seems to be the go-to for every rock/metal inspired musician, followed by drums. Bass players are probably the hardest the find, with good bass players being even rarer.

I agree that bass is usually more in-demand. I've played in a couple of bands whose bassists wound up switching to guitar, probably because they wanted to be more prominent/be less like backup musicians.

A pity, because one was a really brilliant bassist and only a so-so guitar player. So if you're a good bass player, you should use it.

You don't actually have to pick one. You know how to play both; say so.

I know this is pretty late but I'd say that telling them both is the best, it'll help to have versatility and bass is always in demand.

Which one are you better at? Agree you should present yourself as being able to play both, but show your chops with your best instrument.

bass
but really whatever your best at.
and being able to do both will get you more play

drummers are actually harder to find because you need someone who owns and can transport their own drum kit.

at the same time, there are alot of drummers, but a shitty drummer is so bad they may as well not join the band

Bass. Everyone wants to play the guitar.

Play both. They're similar instruments and you don't have to pick one and stick exclusively to it.
