I think, as the others have put, that this is all part of the same thing. The bass still being audible, and doing it`s role, without being swamped by the other instruments.
It`s funny though, thinking about this. Given how powerful bass rigs are nowadays, we could all adopt the same principles as our guitarist brethren, and turn everything up on full, and decimate the bands sounds, yet we don`t. I wonder why that is.
Maybe there`s something to be said for the fact that the instrument matches our personalities, and we naturally prefer the background. Or, that we actually look to the sound of the whole band, rather than me, me, me. I know which I reckon it is.
