Maybe you could try to turn off the bass lines and play manual bass. I have been playing manual bass for a long time and I thought it is far superior than the arranger's automatic bass lines. In fact I just use the drum rythms and fill-ins. Everything else is manual.
I occasionally do play manual bass, if not always the bass sound then using the bottom end of the guitar, rhodes, B3 setting I am playing in full keyboard mode.
I don't like to do it a lot, because I find it limiting to my overall playing, and I happen to like most of the swing/latin bass lines programmed into the kb's I have used. Often what is very effective jazz-wise is to play manual LH bass while the programmed bass lines are playing. Can you do that on your kb?
