I suspect this is what he is doing; the bass has already been silenced by using a dot, but he would like it to start playing again in the middle of the next bar. The only way to do this is to enter a chord without the bass resting. The problem is that that BIAB will only use the shorter style patterns, which can change the phrasing of the piece.

I don't think this can be done (with a style; you could of course enter the bass notes you want played for a couple of beats or bars in the melody or soloist track, however).

I think this would require a modification to how rests, shots and holds work. Maybe what we need (if we really need it) is something like:

F7.pgs6, which would mean rest all instruments except piano, guitar, and strings for 6 beats. So after 6 beats, the drums and bass would automatically come back in. Just a thought, but it would involve recoding how the rest feature works, but if you put the number at the end, it would make parsing easier for backward compatibility.
