Good responses. The last thing you would want to do is add bass. The existing bass have overeaten the forage base and it is not a balanced pond. It is the best bass fishing pond if you only consider the catch rate. This is a very normal condition on ponds that are not fished/managed.

Think about it this way. If you had a pasture full of skinny cows, it would tell you that you needed to look at the grass/forage base. Adding fat cows would put more strain on the forage resource and you would just wind up with more starving, skinny cows. At this point, you could start buying hay or eliminating the excess cows. Buying hay gets old and doesn't cure the underlying problem.

The best cure is fishing and tossing the bass on the bank or eating the starving bass. You do need to eliminate them until you start catching fat, healthy bass with a good WR like Esshup says. Adding them to the other ponds could easily get those ponds into the same condition.

Although the fishing is easy at this point, the bass, even though starving, will become conditioned to lures. That's the time to switch over to live bait, usually minnows, on light line.

After a while, you can add spawning size Bluegills which you will need anyway. Anything under 6 inches or so will be immediately eaten. In the Spring, I would also add about 15 pounds of 5 to 6 inch tilapia per acre.

BTW, how big is the pond in question?

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
