I got a new amp and I dont know anyting about the EQ. Its a mid 90s made is USA Peavey TNT115 with a Black Widow (I know, its cool ) but the EQ is 40,100,250,625,1.6k,4k,10k. What does all this mean? And what is a X over frequency, it has a knob to change it from 200hz to 2khz? My bass is active if this helps.
The 40, 100, and 250 are your bass frequencies. The 625 and 1.6k are your mids and the rest the treble. Have a little fun experimenting by leaving all the sliders in the middle, then take each one and boost it and cut it while playing and listening to what happens to the sound.
The x-over is crossover frequency which is only important if you are bi-amping, which if you have to ask, you are not.

Scott has given you great advice! Along with that, try playing with you fingers and a pick while doing your tests. You will learn how to use the EQ quicker than you think. Also, keep your bass's controls flat if it is active and if it is passive: volume 100% and tone knob all the way to the treble side.
good advice so far. read the eq thread linked in the FAQ sticky in amps for more ideas. overall, i try not to play with eq unless i need it. then again, i usually do, so it's good to develop a feel and understanding for how to do it.
