Not sure going to see a band in a pub or wherever will give us an idea what 'proper' bass should sound like, the equipment used is often not much cop, and being surrounded by dozens of bodies will mess with acoustics as well. I've often found the sound at gigs to be quite rough, and it's really the atmosphere that swings it for me, and of course some good trouser-flapping bass. Try to recreate that bass at home, and then you'll get some real complaints.
