Huh my costume must be defective
I agree with getting some drums, but more VSTs hasn't helped me personally - it's mostly just more clutter, more things that do the same things your stock plugins can do if you learn how to use them. SPAN, OTT, TDR Nova, Youlean Loudness Meter and Vital (all free) are the few exceptions to my "rule".
There's a free book I've been reading that I think addresses your question of "how to have fun again" - similar to what the first comment in this thread said.

Maybe we need to be more vocal? 🤔

I wish they would raise the HBP limit for RRSP that can be used towards a downpayment. It's not like I'm going to be able to retire with that if I can't build equity beforehand.
From the CRA "Currently, the HBP withdrawal limit is $35,000. This applies to withdrawals made after March 19, 2019."
From the article "Recent surges — prices have risen 36 per cent in three years"
So it should be closer to $50,000. Maybe $60, 000 would be better to account for prices continuing to rise while we wait for something to be done to improve the situation.

The context you're playing in should be an important factor.
Just playing alone at home, pick whatever sounds nice to you.
Jamming with the band? Consider the kick drum and how low the guitars like to play. Try to put your EQ bands somewhere they won't be in constant conflict.
The genre you are playing might also demand more or less sub bass. Generally busier bass section means less emphasis on sub bass, while simpler can get away with more sub bass. It depends though.
Other instruments (if there are any) will demand room in the mids and higher frequencies, so you may cut your bass's high end to give them room. Or you may decide to have a band in the high end if your bass / genre demands it, to allow you to cut through the mix.
Personally I would start with a band in the sub region around 60hz, and another in low mids around 200-300hz and adjust from there. And don't obsess about it too much until you're considering the impact in a mix.
