i cut somewhere at th 500-600 hz area. there are some ringings there. and maybe also at the area of 2000hz. lately i add little bit gain at the area of 200hz. i think it's giving some depth to the osund. but every track i change my mind about those things

I like to duplicate the track (after freezing the bass midi to audio), then duplicate it again.
Find the highest note you play and the frequency (eg, C2 is 65ish), then use a filter to cut off any higher frequencies on one channel.
On the second, use the filter to do the opposite and only let sounds through that are above the highest note.
Do the same for the third.
I then can have more control over the EQ, and I can treat the sub bass differently to the mid-range bass tone. I tend to pan the two mid channels slightly, and differ the EQ, just to give a bigger sound to my final mix.
I guess you could do the same with the high end if you worked with it, or so desired.

how does it help if u eq every bass note separately? i have failed to und this! can someone pls explain?
Well, check out the spectrum analyzer when you play, say, a D. Look where the fundamental and harmonics are.
Now put in a different note...and the fundamental and harmonics move
When you're EQing, you're making adjustments based on the relative position of the fundamental and the harmonics, so it makes sense that when you change notes you would ideally change EQ settings.
That being said, many people on this forum have suggested that not-so-sharp Q settings on your cuts and more shallow broad based EQ style will allow your EQ to work well with multiple notes.
Or you can be ultra technical and EQ every note. If you have Ableton it's very easy to do this with Racks without needing to duplicate the MIDI track multiple times.
If you want to make an apple pie from scratch...you must first invent the universe

Clip from said practise?
There you go.
Still need to work a bit on the mixing/mastering, like...
