If indeed they are out of phase, that is one track is inverted with respect to the other, apply a 1 band eq, and click the phase reverse button in the upper right hand corner. (apply, don't insert, to prevent latency.)
Once that is done, then check time alignment. If both waves do not line up along the timeline the same, shift the mic back by dragging it until it does. (you may need to delete a few ms at the beginning of the track to do this, but that should not be a problem unless you started recording the exact moment the bassist started playing.)
This method is a common practice here, going both direct and micing our '62 Ampeg B-15-N. The DI is often phase inverted from the Amp, and the mic is always a few ms behind the di. Once aligned, you will have yourself one kick *ss bass sound.
If your amp is inverted, you might want to check the phase of the speaker cabinet.
Hope this is helpful.

Sure time aligning affects phase relationships.
How would you explain what happens (as in this case) if you slowly nudge the DI basstrack against the Mic'ed track while playing, you can clearly hear the phase relationship between the signals change.
