my rules:
1) there is no definitvie rule and exceprions sometimes becomes the rule.
2) our ears judge always kick & bass togheter, at the same time. So, there is no great kick individually.
3) 90% of the job is to choose the good sample, spend 90% of your time is to find the right one.
4) If you are increasing monitor volume to make your kick sound better, probably you are in the wrong way. Great kick sounds good at low earing monitor volume.
5) 90% of the times compressor destroy a good kick. Better to work with eq.
6) Brutal lowpass filter on kick, in my experience, sometimes is a great solution on mixes with a lot of audio material.
