"Make the bass mono when mixing for vinyl. Always and absolutely. With
bass I don't only mean the bassline. I mean all low frequencies - the
bassline, the low end of your drums, percussion, any bassy effects,
etc. No panning, no stereo effects. Make it mono.

With stereo bass content the needle has to do big vertical movements
which easily results in skips. Also the record will have to be cut
quieter."

I'm sure you know better, just saying that this is what everyone else is saying.
