You gotta be careful with that maxxbass...easily over do it...i dont use that anyway.
What i was getting at was, instead of running ur trk through whatever means of processing at the master stage to achieve fattness or warmth....do in the mixdown itself...so if you want a fat bottom end,go and treat the bottom end in the actual mix as appose to relying on mastering tools to do it at the end.
Also my point about warming things up,is just a common proceedure in production and is used on other elements apart from the bottom end.
Im talking subtle...not just wacking up the bass on a bbe or whatever.
