Rock: well recorded bass...60s/70s

Well folks...i over did it to make a point...but the point still stands...Zep and Stones...although the music is stellar...the bass is truly atrocious...flabby,slow,and murkier than a river bottom...Floyd and Eagles bass is quite good...well...maybe its time to listen to more jazz! ALways a good idea for decent bass!

>>but the point still stands<<

Indeed it does.

Check your alignment and loading.

There is nothing wrong with the software.

Please stop by and I'll prove it to you.

Good luck in correcting the problem(s).

what recording are you speaking about, with no bass or lack there of?

Warren Zevon (first three albums)
James Taylor (first two)
The Faces
James Brown (like Sex Machine)
Al Green
Dusty Springfield
Pink Floyd (especially Dark Side)
The Clash (London Calling)

ok well i cant speak of any of those BUT I can tell you that as for The Faces i cant get any bass from the cd let alone the LP. Even in my car with 2 10's subbed-out very low with a decent amount of gain and still no bass.

I do agree that some recordings have better bass "capture" meaning in the recording process. memay disagree but recording bass and capturing bass correctly is very difficult for alot of recording engineers. there are very few who get it right. Most of the time the bass guitar is recorded directly into the mixing console which makes it sound very thin. and even eq'ing it still doesnt get it right.

Very few have been able to capture bass in a room correctly. at least in the 60 and 70's but again there are plenty of recordings to use for reference on vinyl.

Even in the 80's bass was lack there if in the rock world.

get the new metallica "black album" reissue, absolutely insane controlled bass which has alot to do with the capturing and original recording process.
