Is that a joke?
I mean I know your comment itself comes from a sarcastic standpoint, but am I to infer that you're suggesting the bass wasn't noticed in the TLH album?
No its not a joke

Maybe its just me but I only ever hear Brians Bass when I listen to it on a Bass Boosted setting on my stereo.This goes for all records not just TLH
Bass guitar shouldn't overpower the song. It should fill the air for the measures that are being played by the other instruments.
TLH had two big problems with bass: 1) providing nearly as complex riffs for Marshall as there were for guitars; 2) lowering the frequency of the bass so that it is "felt" more than "heard."
Either way, it's still there and with proper equipment is very noticeable.
