Thanks!
Yesterday I added a layer of hammond 80800000 in the lower part of the rhodes. And I think it gives it a little more presence. Surely tomorrow I don't like it ... XD

I find that layering the synth "formant bass" and then drop it an octave gives a lot of punch to the low end. You can adjust the synth volume to determine how much effect it has.

If you are doing Doors songs, although Ray used the Fender-Rhodes piano bass live, on all the albums after Waiting for the sun they used a bass player. Bringing in the synth bass under the Rhodes sound makes a reasonable approximation of the album sound. It works better than just jacking up the EQ on the bass end.

Hope this helps
