Based on a rough comparison with George Duke's version of "Mothership 
Connection", in my Sennheiser HD-25 II, it sounds like it has at least 
as much bass. However, it does not sound particularly bassy.

What I usually do, which is probably not well received in the church of 
audio mixing, but works well nevertheless, is to cut all frequencies in 
the lower part of the bass range, about until the cut is evident on 
non-bassy equipment. That way only the ranges of the bass which you 
want, will be blasted through (and probably colored by) the PA.

Otherwise I find both of the tracks funky!
