Hey Rodeoman,
Congrats on your decision to play bass! Trust me, the bass is an all around great instrument. It can be used in the rhythm section of a band, but also sounds great playing melodic solos. I'm sure you've already discovered lots of the fun things you can do on the bass-- slapping, tapping, etc... And, hey, if you miss the sound of the steel guitar, try using a slide on your bass. Not the same, but it still has a pretty neat sound. The best advice I could give you is to stick with it and enjoy every minute of playing bass!!! Welcome to the family o' bassists :)
