"The bass" is not separately encoded Ion it's own channel. However it is true that the signal pressed onto a vinyl record is not the original source signal, but it's pre-filtered with the RIAA response curve, effectively dampening low frequencies. During playback, a preamplifier stage reverts that filtering to reconstruct the original waveform.
