Agreed. Although i stand by my EQing kicks at 45-50.

i usually perform a steep shelving EQ at 3-35 hz.

All percussive parts are rolled off at around 125hz.

hi rez bell attentuation at 250 get rid of mudiness.

As for bass parts - create layered basses that leave nothing to chance, a sine for the bottom end under strict compression control and a rezzy part for the top end to provide tonal definition.
