So I'm transcribing a record, and what I hear is the bass line chromatically ascending in (as you say) a tritone substitution of the applied dominant (of D). The notes are Bb-D-F-Ab(G#), but the G#/Ab is in the bass. So should I call the chord Bb7/Ab? And if so, I suppose the better spelling of the 7th is Ab. The following chord is D7.
