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?

A lot of recordings in the 60's were unable to capture a clean bass tone. Some of it was due to the hardware used, while others was due to the engineer. Nothing on the playback end can correct for this!
