bass

I don't spend much time in the lower frequencies. I'm not even sure where this post is suppose to go. It might be this thread: I was reading something about bass.

I just think there is a difference between good bass and natural bass.

The natural bass is kind of a true bass that you might hear from a bass fiddle at a jazz concert. The bass is one of the rhythm instruments, and it does not have prominence. It's kind of only when you turn you attention to the bass player that you can really follow it in the music.

I believe I have really only heard this natural bass with natural SET amplifiers. Maybe the rest of the bass is just good bass. Like a jolt. Good strong bass.

But there really is nothing like the sound of a vibratory type of bass. Where it is not a 'solid' bass but almost like plucking a string on an instrument, and you can just hear the notes as composites of vibrations.

Am I on the right track about this?

And is that the same kind of thing you really hear throughout the frequency range, a little more of the vibratory, not just in the decay, having extended decay perhaps, but even in the main notes as they are played.

That's kind of what gives it the soul in the sound. Rather then hearing a 'consistent' note, you hear more of the feeling of the notes.
