Right this is my thinking behind how you could sort your situation: You say that he doesnt have much time to practice bass and you say his bass parts are easy and that he finds it hard to play bass and sing perfectly at the same time, a way you could sort this is advertise for a new bassist, have a band meeting first of course and say what you t hink and try and get the rest of the band on your side, that way he can practice on his singing only, the new bassist can pick up the songs that are easy to play and concentrate on those, this should then hopefully produce better performances even if you keep the same amount of practicing going and a new memeber can bring fresh ideas to the band
