This is a good approach for getting bash on the remote side. However,
the recommended way to get this is

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'tramp-connection-properties
             (list (regexp-quote "/ssh:address@hidden.domain:")
                   "remote-shell" "/bin/bash"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With this approach, you could even specify the remote host which shall
run bash.

However, this does not give you your path environment from .profile and
friends. In order to get it, you must add the symbol
`tramp-own-remote-path', like.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'tramp-remote-path 'tramp-own-remote-path)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Reading the Tramp manual? All of this is described there ...

Best regards, Michael.
