Only time I actually run the amps through a mixer is either for recording purposes or if I'm playing in a venue where that is necessary for house sound cause the acoustics are terrible.
You're talking crazy. Most serious bassists have a graphic and a compressor in a gigging rackmount to compliment their amp. You may as well plug straight into the PA if yer gonna rely on the sound man for your EQ.
