Why on earth would you need multi-band parametrics for such a narrow
frequency band? Wouldn't that be "overkill"?

For the sake of example...lets say you have a suckout at 60 Hz and a
big boom at 40Hz. How would you propose to correct this with a single
band equalizer?

That's a good point.

Of course, personally, I would use my graphic to control the 40 hz and
let the parametric to take care of the 60hz (since my EQ would only
catch 63). But not everyone would want to introduce another component.
I COULD also use the parametric on an SAE preamp that I have as well
g.

I guess that the ideal solution is simply using one of the Rane 10
band parametrics. Now THAT'S an overkill situation chuckle.

10 band would be overkill but I can easily see someone using 3 or 4
bands if they really wanted the deepest flattest bass response they
could get.

One to handle LF cutoff. Most subs have one built in. Driving a sub
below what it can handle is just gonna yield distortion. Another to
boost bass and extend useful output. Another to quelch the inevitable
bloom, and a fourth to address the inevitable suckout. Parametrics are
easily tailored to address the frequency ranges needing a tweak while
others would be a lot more difficult to prevent more harm than good.
