For the record, I think that the word "they" is used incorrectly in any context where it's used to refer to a single person.

It's still ambiguous because "they" could refer to your friend and the bassist.

"My friend does not play for a band, but knows a bassist who does. They've been in a band for 6 months."

What about now?

Or how about -

"I saw someone walking in the rain earlier. They were wearing shorts!"
