I think Redding was a guitar player before he got
"drafted" to play bass with Hendrix. yes?

Just to clarity: I revere Hendrix and am clearly descended from
his lineage. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to his (and Eddie Kramer's) godly
contributions to the modern vernacular, both conceptually and
electronically. 8-)
Maybe my beef is with Noel Redding
specifically? I can listen to Zep, Sabbath and many others on vinyl and
feel the bass is adequate (for the day)—I just don't find Redding's bass that
satisfying. Mitch Mitchell OTOH ranks right up there with Bonham in my
book! -m

For the most part, vinyl mastering and
production esthetics were more mid-rangey and compared to modern
production a little "honkey" sounding. Compression and volume
maximization aside, I prefer the broader tonal spectrum of modern
recordings. I love Hendrix, but most of recordings still have that
narrower range and less bass, giving the recordings a dated sound. MP3's
of the same recordings sound dated as well. I understand the basics of
high end interpolation and sampling, but still, I just don't hear
it.
