Doubling on Double Bass?

So I've had an electric upright bass for about a year, for the first few months i played quite a bit, I've done a few gigs with double bass (both this one and borrowed) but I haven't touched it since november and before that I hadn't serisouly played it since august so I'm wondering if there's any point keeping it as I don't feel much enthusiasm for the instrument (as a player at least)

should electric bassists be required to also play double bass? it would seem only fair as guitarists, double bassists, drummers and keys players all seem quite happy picking up the bass guitar and nabbing our gigs :P . point is, is it better to focus on one instrument and know it inside out or double up?

any thoughts?

edit: moved to general bass discussion as this is nothing to do with th guitar itself
