I once had to use a lowpassfilter on the bass at 300hz to make up for poor
arrangment.
The guitars didn't match the bass at all and I ended up rescuing the song by
just putting the bass underneath it all.
The bass player wasn't happy, but the label was happy that the song now
sounded good.

If you want a full range bass sound you have to arrange the song so that
there is room for a full range bass.
The player also have to play good enough to be allowed to have a full range
bass sound :)

Also:
There's a big difference where the treble frequenzies lies in different
basses.
If you go for the most expensive/hightech basses they have their "click" way
up int the treble area, while a Presicion bass will have the "click" almost
in the mid area.
That's why old Fenders often sound good in rock mixes IMO.
