chsh should take effect as soon as you open a new terminal. Note that chsh
is usually setup to only let you use "known good" shells, so if bash is
installed in, say, /usr/local (or just plain isn't listed in /etc/shells)
chsh probably won't let you set your shell to it, typically to prevent the
case that you accidentally set your shell to something you don't want.
(One time when I was an undergrad I had to help someone who had somehow
accidentally set her shell to ghostscript!)
