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.

Abraxas is good. Try Ogden's Nut (Small Faces), some early Procol Harum, any Beatles and, of course, the first 3 Lindisfarne records.
The Who live at leeds
Rush A Farewell to the Kings
Yes Often Chris Squire Bass stands out
Some of the Joni Mitchell Hejira with Jaco playing
