Well, because you're from Bakersfield, I feel obligated. Yes, here is what I generally do.
On the kick, cut all below 47HZ with a sharp curve, hopefully you have a parametric EQ with about 5 nodes. If you have an eliptic setting, use this for the curve.
On the kick put a negative notch/dip starting at 75Hz and going up to 1000Hz at -6db midpoint. Then put a slight bump 2-3db at 1000 and again at 2000 with a fairly narrow Q. Cut everything above 2000 about -6db. All this is approximate depending on how you tracked your kick. These highpoints are so you can hear the tick of the kick so on small speakers there is an apparent effect of the kick being audible.
On the bass high pass at 75 with a steep curve. Wide cut from 150 to 750 around -6db and bump a narrow Q band at 1000-1200 +3 to +6db, cut all above this.
Run them through a common sub buss, slap a compressor on the that buss, smash to taste. Mix this up under the main tracks or just use this sub if you like the sound.
Back on the main tracks put the bass at zero, kick about 3db lower and mix around that.
This is very subjective based on how well you tracked everything. If your at -12 to -6 on your tracked volumes, you should be OK. This is a starting point for you. For some growl on the bass, put it through a sim amp, or real amp for that matter and run a distortion pedal, or take the bass channel out to a POD device for some extra pizzaz. All depends on what type of music you are recording.
