Cool!
I'm sure it sounds great with this slight usage of each parameters!
That means that Your Bongo is a great signal source at the first place, this is just a "spice" for tonal character improvement!

Yes I find that with a Mark Bass amp you only need to tweak the eq when you've got a dodgy bass, luckily with EBMM basses all the eq you need is on board ready steady on your fingertips.

Well that's the same thing I notice with my Bongo: Tweak just a little on the Graphic EQ in order to improve the room's weaknesses and that's it

Just interested if these are your "one size fits all" settings, regardless of musical genre, pick/fingers, cabinet/s, stage dimensions/construction. Would it work for Koogs' metal band as well as Cowpilot?

I was specifically asked how do I set up my Little Mark Tube in conjunction with the Bongo. I play blues and rock covers never with a pick and my cab aside the combo, is a 15in Electrovoice loaded GK. That particular settings only works well for me with the Bongo and the Stingray 5 which are more or less the two highest output active basses I own.
The 25th is slightly less powerful than the two I've mentioned above so it needs more gain and a bit more low end, but with the 2 filters VLE and VPF completely off, they don't suit the 25th, specially considering I use the 25th more in passive mode than I do in active, just my preference.
When I play passive basses through it, such as a P Bass or a J Bass, once again I use a different approach essentially similar to that which I use for the 25th but with the VLE in the 12 'o clock position and the VPF off.

Well, with Cowpilot, you really only use two notes so almost anything would work to an extent.
