Seems like it was the band's decision Stapp has said that he didn't notice any difference and Mark obviously felt he did a good job. I belive the bass is not as noticable in Weathered because they were going for a cleaner sound and when you turn it up (like you should) the bass is quite noticeable.
However I do agree the bass lines were rushed in Weathered and I hope Mark takes as much time doing these as the guitar lines and a bass solo or two would be nice. Hopefully Brett does come into the studio though.
