Maybe. If they end up just being lugubris, you have a better chance of them getting along with the bass. Just grow them out and see if the spotting disappears, which could be gone in less than a year.

So basically, there's still a chance they're not lugubris? I'm to hope for the spotting to NOT go away if I want "tame" crenicichlas?
I got myself 2 oscars while waiting for another go at kelberis, since these didn't go through.

I wouldn't call lugubris venezuela tame, just a little less aggressive than lentiuclata overall. More people have been able to keep sp Venezuela with other fish like bass and oscars. Lenticulata retain the face spotting as adults.
A good article on lugubris family and a nice head shot you can compare to.
