Is it possible to play by using the BIAB from the MIDI files (.mid) single note melodies (e.g. bass melody) with RealTrack instrument sounds (hearing e.g. real acoustic bass sound) – i.e. using the sounds recorded from the real instruments?
I think it is maybe possible by importing wanted Melody from MIDI file or importing to Soloist part from MIDI file and then choosing for Melody/Soloist track suitable RealTrack instrument (real acoustic bass sound)? Does it works?

RealTracks are prerecorded audio phrases and as such, do not respond to MIDI data.
And while a number of RealTracks have RealChart notation, it's merely to represent what's being played and for reference and learning. Changing any of those notes does not change what the RealTrack is playing.
You can, of course, use RealCharts data to assign a MIDI bass instrument, but it won't sound the same because while it captures the note information, it doesn't capture the nuances of the original live performance of the RealTrack.

No that will not work. Realtracks (RTs)are audio files and can not be manipulated by MIDI. You can regenerate RTs and get multiple versions of said RT but you can not change the RT via MIDI.
You can use your MIDI track with virtually any VSTi instrument. There are many really good sounding bass VSTIs for you to choose, ranging from free to quite expensive.
Good luck.
PS - I see that John and I were typing at the same time!

I'm not sure how feasible and practicable you will find it but I think it can be done. RealTrack Bass audio can be sampled and a Sforzando midi patch can be made using the audio samples where using two tracks of the mixer, can combine Sforzando programmed Midi riffs with RealTrack audio and the two file mix exported into a Stereo Audio render that could be imported back into your BIAB project, converted to a Performance Track and replace the original Bass Track in the Mixer and there should be no distinction between the RealTrack sampled midi and the RealTrack.
It's likely you can also find existing midi or Supermidi bass patches that sound close enough to an existing RealTrack Bass audio to bypass the Sforzando sample patch part of the scenario detailed above.
As Mario stated, "There are many really good sounding bass VSTIs for you to choose, ranging from free to quite expensive." That would also be my recommendation unless you're up for the Sforzando programming adventure.
For a single track for one song, Fiverr may be the right ticket.

No, it is not possible at all. The reason is because the real tracks are actual recordings of real instruments played by real musicians to give you real performances with your backing tracks or songs. PG music does have a built in sample library that uses the sforzando formate but I highly suggest that you purchase high quality sample libraries and know how to voice them correctly with a keyboard or midi guitar. Since you want to use a bass, I recommend you check out Orangetree samples. I have their Jaco fretless bass sample and it sounds great.
