When you remove the vocals, the result is a substraction Left-Right.
If you mix that to the original, you will have (left-right) + (left+right) = 2×left.

You need a center extractor, like on some Dolby Surround systems. In the new version 2.17 of DePopper, there is such a possiblility, though the aim is different. Maybe there are some plug-ins compatible with Goldwave, but i'm not so much in that aspect.
Once you have extracted the center, instruments located at the center will still be kept, that will probably include the bass.

Quoting myself... :)
There is no software that can do it perfectly. "Vocal removal" is done by simply subtracting left from right. This removes everything in the "center"... everything that's equal in both speakers. It does not remove off-center vocals. But, there is no similar simple way to manipulate the L+R, L-R, Left-only, or Right-only signals to remove everything but the center-vocals.

With that out of the way, there is a WinAmp plug-in you can try with GoldWave:
Take a look at this post, this post, and this post.
