Yeah, I also think it's better to get your sound going in. I can almost always get the sound from the synth, without having to rely on too much EQ. Compressing a synth bass usually means that you did a poor job in the ADSTR structure, why more people don't know this I haven't figured out, but needing to treat a synth bassline for dynamics just means that whoever is behind the wheel isn't doing their job (unless you're going after the artifacts of brutal compression).
Why don't you list 5 or 6 patches that come close to the sound you have in mind, and we can see what needs to be done with them.
