I've found that saxophone needs the least EQ-ing of any live instrument. But, then I'm not big on EQ-ing much. I prefer to fix things with mic choice and positioning. Your particular room or stage may need some EQ to compensate for standing waves and such.
If the player has a good solid sound, and you are using a decent mic (not one of those Guitar Center "buy three mics, stands and cables for $49.95" specials), then you shouldn't need a whole lot of EQ, unless you are using it for an effect.
As always, use your ears, if it sounds bad, then it's wrong.
