don't forget to play with the timing of the bass midi as well. slide that puppy forward or back in time, and it will have a profound effect on how the two impact as a unit. it also affects whether the bass is heard more as a distinct instrument apart from the kick, or whether one reinforces the other.
e.g, a slightly early bass note, mixed more aggressively makes the kick reinforce the bass. a slightly late bass note mixed more evenly makes the bass a powerful melodic reinforcement to the kick.
also, make sure you are tuning the kicks to the key of the song. try the root for the deep kick, and a more interesting note for the hi kick. the tuning of the kick is a huge factor in the mood of the song.
