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?

Thegoldenear,

no idea about the 8 track. I never heard one either! They were slightly before my time, though my dad had one or was it a 4 track?

A very merry christmas to you.
Haha, I will be thankful.

I wont look through the listings for one then.

I do remember the old 8 track studio recorders with 1 inch and I think 2 inch reels. I seem to remember they were not so bad.

A friend of mine bought a Nakamichi dragon the other day. Anyone remember it? I was wondering about giving it a listen, but thought better of it, I had some socks that needed washing and some paint I needed to watch dry!
Not quite rock, but I'm listening to "Mix Up" by Patriok O'Hearn.

Whenever I do, it seems to always re-establish itself as a benchmark recording in my collection not only for bass, but mind blowing sound overall.

Oh and its from the 90's, but its just such a dam good recording that I just wanted to mention it in this thread anyway.
