I played guitar and bass for about 20 years before I tried learning the keyboard instruments. Though I can't read music at all, just learning basic major and minor chords on the keyboard helped me understand a lot about how music works.

Exactly this! This is especially useful for a bassist who is normally playing a note in the chord somewhere (usually root with “passing” chord tones).
