well... whenever I try to record some guitar tracks I always find myself spending a lot of time with post-equalization and it seems to me I almost always exaggerate with it, and the original thick and warm tone loses part of its nature, but I can't do anything beacuse I absolutely have to take away some boomy bass frequencies and some piercing high frequencies. Since I'm almost a noob at recording, I wanted to know... do you set your amp so that the recoded track is already almost definitive even if the tone you hear in the room isn't the best for you (in example lowering bass) or do you set your amp after a tone you like and then apply some systematic post-eq?
For example, if you want to listen, I recorded and panned two rhythm guitar tracks and added NO post-eq:

How would you cut the boomy bass (specially when it comes to palm muted notes) while retaining a full guitar tone? Is it preferable for me to lower the bass on the amp? Am I assuming guitar tone should be too thick when, instead, in a complete mix the bass guitar would help a lot? thanks!
