The trick is to find a bit of sonic real estate that nobody else in the band is using. Sub 50Hz and you're all over the bass drum. 200-1kHz is where the rhythm guitar sits. Vocals fit in between 500Hz and 2kHz. Lead guitar fuzz takes up the space from 2-5kHz, and anything above that is string noise and cymbals. That gives us 2 octaves between 50 and 200Hz to fit the majority of our tone in.
It amazes me how many bass players (and sound engineers for that matter) have no idea how to fit things into a mix.

Had no idea - really helpful actually!
