When you play in various rooms, clubs, concert halls, different parts of the world or even different seasons in the same room, the sound traveling through the air will not be the same. You will probably adjust both your bass and your amp to get the sound closest to what's in your head or to please your ear.
How many of you agree on this?

In my opinion everything changes every time I play... Distance from the amp, distance from another musicians, drum, brass section blowing your head out...
So, I leave my controls unchanged to send a flat tone to FOH, where a good sound engineer can shape my sound the way he wants, and I adjust the EQ in my amp to fit that specific room where I'm playing.
This makes sense to me since I like my bass flat.
