But I’ll add another detail - it also depends on what kind of gigs/settings you find yourself.
For example, with SoulGlitch (the electronic project I’m playing with right now), we run everything into our own Behringer x32 rack mixer, and my bass/pedals are going into that direct from my Noble DI. So:
Bass → Pedalboard → Noble DI → x32 (what actually goes into the house)
And then another out from the Noble goes to my amp, which is basically just for me to feel some bass on stage.
Because of that, I do almost all my EQing before the amp, since anything I do on the amp won’t go into the house. I just EQ the amp based on the stage, rolling the bass up/down if it’s too boomy or too thing, bumping a little treble for clarity, etc., depending.
Another tidbit - I use a ton of octave pedals in that band, and I find that if I boost the bass EQ on my bass slightly, it helps balance the low end between the clean signal and the octave pedals (otherwise the clean bass sounds a little wimpy).
Last thought (on this tremendously complex subject) - most of this stuff doesn’t matter than much for “normal” bass playing, in my opinion. Plug a P bass into an amp, set the tone knob where you like, dial the amp EQ a hair to balance to the room, that’s all you really need for most working gigs.
