I'm looking forward to what the pros here have to say, but as a long time bass player I know that timing is everything. The problem is that playing to a click is really a crutch. A trick I learned from Steve Bryant who I think got it from Carol Kaye is to set the click to the 2 and 4 so that you can feel the down beat and 3 on your own. Have her practice like that for a week before your next session and I'll bet you see a big improvement.
