In most bands I've listened to, the bass guitar is pretty..quiet. As soon as the distortion guitars come in, I can only hear the bass if I really listen for it, or but your bass setting higher in an equalizer or on your speaker or something. Like, the rest of the instruments are way louder.
Seriosly, I wonder, why is the bass ususally so quiet? I know that's not the case in all tyepes of music, but it is with most music that I listen to.
