Yup.
Backing off on the low frequencies helps the highs stand out more clearly.
You can also get pretty good results by cloning the bass after it's recorded and low passing one copy at around 80hz and changing the interleave to mono, then high passing the other clone with no lows and putting FX there, even a bit of chorus, etc.
Keeps your low end tight and controlled, dialed right up the middle, and your high end carrying the rest.
