Effectiveness of Mass Loaded Vinyl for bass absorbtion

Thinking about making some MLV type traps for the studio - the aim being to tame some low end resonances in my room (there's a build up 60-100hz ish).

I'm not looking for broadband absorbtion here, just bass attenuation.

So, does anyone here have any experience with using MLV for bass traps - if so, how do you rate it? My initial ideas involved just using the vinyl sheeting hanging from the back/front walls (as I have overtreated the room slightly and dont want to get rid of more top end just yet) but online consensus seems to be in favour of using the sheeting either bonded with a more traditional absorber (usually quilted fibreglass) or in front/behind a regular broadband trap.

Ideas?
