The tittle says it all, post 'em if you have 'em. Pics are also welcome, especially if you have graphic EQ.
here's mine, on a Warwick CL ND: Low boost on, bass on 2, 550 mids on 3, treble on 2. I keep both gain and master at 4

My EQ settings change with every room and/or every change of any component (including strings). As much as I love filling up talkbass with unimportant babbling, there isn't enough room on TB's server to handle every EQ setting I've used, now use or will use.
What was the point again?

or thereabouts... it does change for the room, volume I'm trying to push.. sometimes I need to 'hear' the bass more so I turn up mids. I generally don't like to hear crispy highs but I keep some at the amp stage. I use my tone knob more to dial in/out highs.
there.. no server overload lol ..wasn't THAT difficult :P |

If you're a good player, and have found the right for you equipment and learned how to use it, you may only need to compensate for the room. If not, you may be compensating for your playing, your amp, your cabinet, or any number of other things.
You may also be chasing a tone unachievable without EQ of some sort, which is fine too.

Treble pulled out to target upper mids, at 4-6, depending on how much nasty I need. Bass pulled out to target really low frequencies, dialed back to 1. Mids at 10. Graphic EQ functioning mostly as a mid boost.
Here's the best picture I have:
