I have some wonderful RealTracks bass parts. But many tunes demand a specific bass line (Song for My Father, Chameleon, etc.) at least during the head.
I would love to be able to use the RT parts in the solo sections, but use the SAME BASS as a sample lib to play the specific lines where needed. I can cut together bass parts from Trillian or Kontakt, but if you could add a few basic single-note playable sample sets to the existing parts there are a LOT more tunes i could create(I know it is not that simple, but should be realizable.)
Thoughts?

Why not use MIDI? Have BIAB generate a MIDI bass line, modify it to your needs, then use a bass from Kontakt.
OR create a RT bass track, save it, use a pitch to MIDI program (Melodyne is one of the best but there are some free ones out there), change the part(s) you would like to change then pick a Kontakt bass sound.
Just my thoughts.
PS-I have used the RT suggestion with no problem.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

That's what I do. But there are many songs that I prefer the BiaB style bass to what I can coax out of a MIDI keyboard and Trillian, or one of my Kontakt/Gigastudio libs. If the instrument used in a particular (jazz or Latin, in my case, but all styles could benefit) were available in a relatively basic Kontakt or Sampletank library, we could mix the two approaches with relative ease, blend my bass lines with, for example, RT443: Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Sw 140 , Neil Swainson. If Neil also added a small Kontakt set (nothing fancy, just single notes at a couple velocities, tempos and lengths) it would help a lo, and not be difficult to implement. Wouldn't even have to change the current styles, and probably could use the same Kontakt set with more than one RealTrack.
The coolest version would be to make the library so it could be played directly from BiaB as a sub-track of the regular bass, add the option to select the recorded (RealNotes?) or the RealTrack; this would require coding, though, so is not as simple (and still needs the library, regardless of format.)

An easy +1 here. Loads of songs rely heavily on a bass line that's a bit of a 'red thread' running through parts or even the whole song. From 'Pachebel' to 'Another one bites the dust', that list is looong, and so is the list of potentials here. Really hope this one catches the eyes of the guys upstairs! 
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
