=== Guitar Body Resonance ===
I have a big body'd jazz Guitar that really likes to resonate at about 165Hz. That's an octave above the open (lowest Guitar) E string. So rather than having to mute that string all the time, I just dial up that frequency and set the width as narrow as I can - 0.2 (1/5 th of an octave) and setting the Level to -6 dB. This seems to do the trick, and since this Guitar really *loves* that note, dialing it back just balances things out a bit. I used -6 dB because I needed that much to tame the problem. In real life you fine tune the cut by ear. Use much as you need, but as little as possible.

If you have a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_tone wolf tone] in your Bass, you could probably tame it with the Para EQ.
