I use the term "weight" to describe the presentation of bass, or more specifically its body as pointed out by ichos, (e.g. thin vs. thick bass) and "slam" for bass impact or dynamics.Thanks, and what are you defining as 'bass weight/slam'? Is it, for example, the impact of a kick drum? What example tracks do you use for referencing bass impact?
For weight/slam (more of the latter):
Ross from Friends - Epiphany
Space Scavengers - Sciental Dub
For weight, I usually look to classical recordings such as Bach's Cello Suites, Luigi Boccherini's Double Bass Quintets, Jean-Baptiste Barrière's Cello Sonatas, etc.
EDIT: For example, when listening to the two linked youtube videos above on my PX100 v1 (from my mobo), the electric bass therein definitely has some weight but I'm more interested whether my old faithful PX100 produces any slam. It does kinda but it is really wimpy compared to my HE-6 setup.
