Going in with the bass player would be a great idea if it's possible. It's a lot easier for most people to groove with another person than it is to groove with a pre-recorded track. Plus you'd have a creative partner for finding parts.

I guess what I'm saying is you sure could do the way you described but since there is already a guitar on, I would see if you could either get the bass on before you or else go do your stuff quickly, get the bass on and then you go back and redo your parts. The other option is going in with the bass player. So you can certainly do it the way they want you to but I think there are a couple of better options if they will work with you. Just know that if they won't change things that you can get it done and just go do it.
