I believe it's even easier than needing a video, John. There may indeed be one, but in the meantime, here are a few suggestions:

1. Enter your bass line on the Soloist channel and assign a good MIDI bass sound. You can then mute the RealTrack bass part at certain measures using F5. The RealTrack bass can play most grooves, but your bass plays the written hooks.

2. Use a MIDI bass on the bass track, edit it, and freeze the track so it doesn't get regenerated (because otherwise your edits would be overwritten).

3. Use a MIDI bass on the bass track, edit it, and copy the track to the Soloist track so it doesn't get regenerated. Then mute the 'regular' bass track by bringing the volume to zero (this gets saved; muting status does not). This is a good technique because you can continue to edit the track and not worry about it since the Soloist track is never regenerated.

I think you get the idea.
