Your right, alot of sublime stuff is very sub. I read that for the self titled record, eric wilson used the dbx subharmonic unit and an ampeg classic head into an 18" subwoofer and mic'd that in with a U67 going to tape. He uses a much different rig now.
But check out a few tracks from eric wilsons Bass on his newest Long Beach Dub All Stars wonders of the world. That album sounds amazing. He used a custom Koll bass (Similar to steinberger sound) into an avalon 737 and some other stuff im not sure about. This is One of my personal favorite sounding records.

Back to my question, I have been rolling off 40 and below on the bass in my mixes, is that a bad idea? I just thought it was too much low bass for most peoples systems.
Also, while tracking bass with the RNC or DBX 160XT, what settings would you reccomend? Thanks

John
