      Imo the volume is, most of the time, alright (Metallica is an exception), but the equalization... oof. Metal studio producers seem to hate mids, and the players themselves don't seem to help either.
      Thankfully, we have exceptions like DiGiorgio.

    Steve is one of the unsung heros of early 90s metal bass playing. He was doing fretless and complex bass work when others were riding one note for 16 measures and playing an octave and 5th for accents.

    The way he anchors his thumb behind the E string and not on top of it is wild to me. It's part of how he gets that crazy powerful right hand attack. His right hand technique in general is just so bad ass. Power, agility, and economy in equal parts. I discovered him along with Sadus back in the early 90's and as a bass player couldn't for the life of me figure out how he did some of that stuff. So cool to be able to see it finally!
