It depends. Limp Bizkit tracks like ‘Nookie’ or ‘Full Nelson’ that use a 4-string guitar tuned to F# (like the low strings of an 8-string) do a pretty good job of letting the bass breathe despite the guitar’s low tuning. Helps that LB has really loud bass. But in modern djent-y metal, yeah kind of - Animals As Leaders doesn’t even have a bass player.
