Great 80's Hot-rodded Marshall Tone With Killer Strat Licks, A new series perhaps? Options

[Mudbone]

I think this is probably the fourth time I posted something about 80's hot rodded Marshalls, maybe I should start a series Anyhow, I think the hot rodded Marshall tone is the ultimate tone for hard rock/metal. Its tight bottom end gives the bass guitar room to be heard. The midrange is aggressive, very detailed, and cuts through the mix. And of course, when cranked, the amp sounds like its about explode Reminds me of a Harley at wide open throttle with open pipes.

This song blends three things very well: crunchy Marshall tones, well defined bass lines, and is embellished with very "Stratty" riffs. Actually, make that four things: the cow bell is used to great effect

One thing missing from many metal and hard rock songs is bass lines that play an integral part of the song. This song simply wouldn't work without the the bass. Skid Row's bassist is the primary song writer, and it shows in many of their songs.

So, heres the question(s): How much prominence do you think the bass should have in a song? Should its presence have equal footing in the overall sound of a song?
