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


whatz up with bass on most rock recordings? is it that hard to get a decent bass sound? must be...as most bass sounds are either a)muddy or b)razor thin...however the bass I found on Santana Abraxas is outstanding though...very dimensional...with a reach out and touch quality...any other recordings that might have this quality?

I have thousands of original pressings from the 60's and 70's and couldn't disagree with you more.

Check your alignment and loading.

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).
Agree with Bongofury.

I have original pressings of every album he mentions and all are wonderful.

Generally speaking too many people are blaming the software when they should be looking more closely at their systems and room acoustics.

looks like i have a few supporters on my side<<

Please list them.
>>I'm not suprised in anyway that bass recordings are lacking from that time range<<

Well that is simply wrong.

And I have thousands of albums to prove it.

Perhaps your system needs some work.
