How do you EQ your P bass

[Space Ghost]

I run my EQ mostly flat all the way across, it's a GK 2-10. I play a Madeira, made by Guild in the eaarly 70s, and it's got a pair of Humbuckers one at the neck one at the bridge, so I can get almost any tone I want by adjusting my bass. Neck is pretty bright, bridge is more boomy. I can throw the switch and adjust the pups volume a little either way and make it scream or growl. I run nylons too so that helps.

Sorry, old thread.
I'm using a maple neck P bass with a Markbass head and run my eq's pretty much at noon unless I need to adjust for the room. VLE and VPF are usually both off unless I add a touch of VLE when using new strings, or VPF depending on the room again but then not much.
I recently got a MXR Bass Octave Deluxe and am struggling to dial in the mid boost. Factory preset of 9 db at 400hz sounds a bit boxy. Moving to 850hz boost gets rid of that boxy sound and cuts through but doesn't have the same punch. I haven't tried with a large PA yet but which frequency would work best do you think?

Amp at true flat, volume and tone full on unless my strings are new.

Head EQ generally flat (but it has amp modelling choices from which I pick the best for the situation).

Bass volume maybe 75%,

Tone varies, but seldom even close to fully up.
