I like boosting the low mids when I play. I think it sounds better with the kicks and gives a little contrast.
'better' to you on-stage at your amp?
'better' in the house mix? ahhh! but how has the sound guy corrected your accenting (potential overcompensation) of the mids? have they needed to remove 99% of your added mids to keep everybody from creating mushy midrange mayhem?
'better' on the mixed down recording? again i would ask what the sound engineer needed to do to compensate for your potentially overblown "midrange enthusiasm"
the truly great players who repeatedly get asked to play the big gigs are those who come without an attitude, send the most neutrally colored signal, and lastly who can hold their ground at a gig. the sooner (younger) you learn these simple principles, the better your chances of 'making it' in the larger world of professional music
all the best,
