If you sound has too much mids or sounds over EQ'd when you boost the Bass and Treble together, start 'cutting' the Mids out till the sound is as tight as you need.

My favorite setting for slap funk is the Bass and Treble up half or more each and the Mids cut just as much.

This creates a notch filter effect, notching the mids out as it cleans out the low treble noise that drowns out the sizzle and takes out the high bass roll off which is just going nowhere.
