Tell the guy to play solo while also taking voice lessons to fix his half step problem.


It is the "context" of this particular situation as given by the OP that determines my advice.

In this case the OP is being asked to accompany in what is presented as a temporary situation, to perform some certain limited number of performance contractuals.

For such, my view is that the job at hand is to provide the Bass for the performer's act, as the performer knows their act.

So its not like "joining" a particular band over the long term in my view.

It is just a matter of providing support.
