The pro mix engineer (Marcella Araica) I had a chance to work with a while back, ran a sub bass channel in mono and low passed it aggressively. She also had a second bass track running parallel compression on a mid bass channel. She would high pass it, then did mid/side eq in full stereo.
Before there were too many plugins to bass boost in 2009, this was the technique she used in this song
My method is rather unconventional. My monitors have a manufacture “defect” that causes them to rattle when there is too much going on in the lows. What I started noticing though was that this never occurred when I listed to commercially released music. Even at loud levels. So I’ve since started adjusting bass levels, HPF’s, etc until I don’t get any rattle and I know I’m at least in the ballpark 
Hi Michelle. I am def the least versed in any tricks. One thing I do once in awhile is play a difficult bass track for a song much slower than the original and then use the DAW to speed it up. A track set for say 120 bpm, I will play maybe at 90. then just type in the 120 and bingo. I then send that to a jump drive and import it into the original session. Could do that with a trickly lead part too, but I haven’t tried that yet. Interesting post
OMG I actually know what a HPF is???ha ha
I did a whole case study on mixing a song many moons ago.
Here is a link to my bass process at the time:
Oh… forgot about this one - more recent:
I put it through Drum Leveler with some quite aggressive settings. It needs very little compression after that. EQ out any resonance - especially nasty honky mids - then plaster it with stereo chorus.
