When you click on the "Plugins" tab on the Mixer, what does it day for the Bass track? Is it four "none" like shown on the image below?
Yes, everything is 4 "None", except melody and soloists, which both have "Default synth Coyote" in the fist slot.

Bingo. After I did "reset most" it is now working properly. I guess that begs the question what option might have been the culprit, but I guess I don't care.
I show the before and after Audacity wave forms below (the after-reset one is first).
Hi all! Pumps2 (and anyone else experiencing this issue) - on the mixer, are your "this song" and "all songs" faders set higher than zero? That's the only way I was able to duplicate this issue.
"This song" and "All songs" were both left at zero.
Please note the problem went away when I did an options reset of "most". Any theories of what might explain that (just idle curiosity)? Are there any options that affect how mono tracks are rendered versus stereo tracks?
Great news. Glad that you got it sorted, and advised how this was achieved. This can assist others in the future.
I'm afraid I have no idea what the setting might have been that caused your issue. But RTFS resolved it, and that's the most important.
BIAB & RB2026 Win.(Audiophile), Windows 10 Pro & Windows 11, Cakewalk Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Session Keys Grand S & Electric R, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M, Pioneer Active Monitors.
Now that the program is satisfactorily working once more you should save your preferences. That way you can quickly return to normal operation should a problem arise in the future.
You can save your current preferences by navigating to OPTIONS > Save Preferences As ...
That will open a window where you can save your preferences as a file.
As you've seen, the Return To Factory Settings is almost instantaneous. So is loading your saved preference file.

I'm not sure what the issue was either, but I'm glad you've got it sorted!

What he said - saving your preferences is always handy.
That was it! I had the "This Song" set at "8". Going to Zero solved the problem.
