 Eb or Bass

So, I am wondering what you all think on the Eb vs Bass front.
I am a student looking to specialise in England in one or the other. Im slightly leaning toward bass just because of my awful experience with the piccolo. I am looking at a career in either classical or musical theatre playing (hense the piccolo), and don't know which clarinet to do. I would love to do both but now its not really about only doing one, its more to do with the cost of the instruments (Eb being 1/2 the cost but bass being more enjoyable).

Im stuck; I don't really want to sell any of my other instruments (am selling oboe and old B12) and would be relying heavily on donations from family members.

Ive been told that there aren't enough good bass players in England, hence foreigners in LSO and Philharmonia, and too many Effers.

Im also hoping to get into my local youth orchestra which is Grade 8 standard, but the 1st chair is filled so adding a double would make me a more desirable second player?

Leonard Bernstein: "To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time."
