Amps louder than Tecamp Puma 900 but same size

Good point- compression and some saturation will often work wonders in recording and mixing bass tracks to make the bass fuller in the mix without raising the level of the bass in the mix (along with side chaining the kick into the bass compressor).
Recording to tape and pushing the level up a bit into the red worked wonders for that, too.
