PS. emailing the drummer might be seen as weak, just keep your powder dry, carry on, and I'm sure he'll hang himself.
If he crits you again in front of the band, give a big BWAHHAWWHAAW laugh, and just say 'Your only saying that cos your trying to get your mate in to play'
Speak and expose the unspeakable, then he has no-where to manoeuvre

or just announce (in presence of said new sixfingered control freak) 'im having a baby so you will need to find a new bass player soon and if the real father doesnt own up im going to have to name you all to the CSA and request DNA tests from all of you! whilst emphasising the last bit stare with a slight look of disdain and pathos at the new boy with his puny tiny stringed instrument
count to ten
hopefully by then he should be unplugging and packing up his ego boosting over-compensating effects rack and mumbling a few excuses ...
let us know if this helps
