I’m not sure what that means.
Are you listening on “big” speakers that can actually reproduce bass? It’s fairly common to record bass direct (maybe with a little compression or limiting) but “clean” bass may not come through very well if you don’t have good woofers.
Guitar is often recorded direct too, but usually an amp “sim” is used to get the sound of a guitar amp & cabinet.
