"The Art of Mixing" by David Gibson is an excellent book which has, in several charts, the information you're looking for... EQ's for different instruments, frequencies that correspond with words like "warm", "tinny", "hollow", etc...

There is another book I have, can't remember the name of it, it's a home-recording type book with a picture of Peter Gabriel on the cover, done by the guys who produced Men at Work... it's a good book with the same EQ information and some suggested cuts/boosts.

Hope this helps...
