Er...well, I'm going to try my best to understand this. It's a little confusing. I typically use the same synth for bass, the oldschool way yknow...but it really doesn't matter if your high end is the same octave as your sub so long as the frequencies don't clash.
Really the only advice I have to give about the equalization process is to use your ears; there's no set number to cut your high end off at, so just make sure your bass isn't sounding muddy or overlapping the kick too much and you'll be fine. Besides, if you make a track according to what guidelines other people set as the "standard", what's to save your track from sounding generic? Just mess around with everything until you like how your song is sounding.
But what most people would tell you I believe is...sub should be 1-200hz; sinewaves work best for subbass imo. Mid is pretty self explanatory; cut everything but the mids (200-1khz) but you may want to leave a little bit of high frequency in if it's making it sound muffled. High end is what people are most likely going to hear most; it's the sound that gives the mid some oomph, so you want to make sure this stands out, so boost the volume a bit over the other bass sounds. That said, cut the low end frequency (1-200hz) and leave the rest. Do a sort of "fade" into the mids if it's clashing with your midbass.
It's common in uplifting trance for the bass to come in like in my track here @ 28 seconds in, which is just simple high pass modulation.
