My initial thought with the tape mod was also, where has the bass gone? The answer is nowhere. Listening to Deadmau5' 2012 album the bass was way deep and I could hear the extended notes. What I no longer heard was the bass boom that came before the tape mod. This takes the bass way low and it still has just as much impact. Getting the depth of seal correct with the JVC tips is the trick and with a little bit of adjustment in your ears the bass is there in spades. I've got some large JVCs coming as my right ear seems to be bigger than my left. This might make it even better. I'll post when they arrive.
