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?

"Still Life" Van Der Graaf Generator. Lots of low organ notes recorded well in an otherwise sparse mix on tunes like the title track, very rare for rock genre recordings.

Smacky,

You and your Scottish friend have definitely had enough - give me your car keys and I'll call a cab for you.

Looks like Smacky's English leaves a bit to be desired, but I think I am able to decipher what he/she is saying.

Hugh Banton plays organ for Van Der Graaf Generator and apparently has interesting organ-related business interests building church organs these days as well.
