Rockman, just sent you another pm. Seriously, try taking out lots of 1khz and a bit to either side of it... (and leave the upper bass/lower mid in it). That (1k) really is the frequency that makes just about any bass sound gross... pingy and ringy like it's in a garbage can or bathroom... almost like there's an ambience on it. Try it brother. I know what sound you're going for and that's more or less how I get it.

EDIT
You almost want it to sound like you've boosted 200-300hz... so it really cuts in the warm punch zone even in headphones. The way I described gets this subtractively rather than having to boost anything. Adjust sub and highs to taste
