hearing the bass
many bands have bass that you cant really hear too well. it just sort of deepens the sound of the rest of the instruments. is there a certain way to get your bass to stand out more without overpowering the other instruments?
a good example is some songs of "the divine wings of tragedy" by symphony x or with some punk bands. you can really hear the bass separately.....

Adjust your equalizations, and physically play harder...or just increase your volume minorly.
Also, if you can get the vibrations to travel better, it seems to work too.

what also works, is to play something that doesn't follow the guitar exactly. Like when a guitar is playing the same note throw in some sixteenths or whatever and it'll usually come through. But the equalizer suggestion usually works best.

sometimes the bass plays the same riffs as the guitar so then the bass sorta fades away...
mostly the other instruments are just mixed so that the bass fades away a bit, I don't really like mixed out bass because obviously i play bass myself, but the bass is also a harder to record instrument, I know out of experience...
playing harder is only a ' live ' solution...
having an active bass is also pretty nice so you can beef up the sound on stage etc.
