So it would make sense to me if you have a FOH guy or if you're tracking, go full range and let the engineer do his job. And if you're playing by yourself it's probably not going to be an issue. But I could see it being useful if you're running your own stage sound or during rehearsals.
ALWAYS best to get things right at the source.
Garbage in = garbage out
If you start with a boomy sound the sound guy is going to have a hard time. A lot of mixers don't offer anywhere NEAR the tone and eq shaping options the axe has, and even with a fully loaded FOH mixing desk, the engineer has a ton of other things to worry about rather than making YOU sound good-the venue sound, the standing waves, the feedback, the bleed through in the mics, the random buzzing that's coming through suddenly, the faulty cable that you ran over with your amp, reverb, the overall sound of the band, the vocalists, the second voice mic that you have to ride the fader constantly cuz the singer has no control and keeps dropping the mic to face the speaker, the kick and snare, the bass, the keyboard, the shrieking violin, the loud horn section, the sampler with all those tracks that were not normalized, and so much more......if you've been a sound guy you'll realize that the loud guitar player with the boomy sound who insists he needs more guitar in the main is the LEAST of your concerns.
Matter of fact, I'd just chop out most his bass and move on to something more pressing.
Most pro players and the sound engineers here would agree that the better your sound fits into the band and mix is the less the soundman has to fiddle with, leaving you with a grand tone that just fits the mix and is more consistent venue to venue.
