ok, I think I have the drums really close, so now comes the bass, can you guys offer some eq suggestions before I pile on an extra helping of geeetar?
 
Don't EQ until mixdown. Try to shape your bass and guitar tones with amp EQ and mic placement as you track them so it all fits nicely together. When it comes time for mixdown and tracks are fighting for space then you can EQ 'IF' you need it.

Yep

What sounds crazy (Eq'ed) by itself may sounds just wonderful within the overall mix.

Also try the EQ approach that BlueBear mentions in one of his articles. Decrease other freqs to fix another. It took me a while to get used to it, which I haven't yet, but I force myself to do it once and it came out pretty good. took too long though. I am still caught in my old ways.

I figure the less you have to fix later, the farther ahead of the game you are now. Good tone and mic placement is crucial.
