Is this mix any good - too bass heavy?

My ears are fatigued at the moment, and unfortunately one of my Mackies decided to crap out on me so I'm having to finish this mix on headphones until I can afford to fix it. I think the mix might be too bassy, but I really can't judge it accurately.

Feedback would be awesome, as my band is trying to release our EP soon. I'm going for a pretty natural, gritty sounding mix.

Mix details:
Drums - real with about 50/50 sample replacement on snare and bass drum is %100
Guitars - Legion, hp/lp and that's it.
Bass - I recorded the cab with 2 mics, as well as the DI.
Vocals - recorded with a handheld SM58. Fuck-tons of compression and a little delay

Thanks :D
 
sounds pretty sick dude!
I personally think you should drop the kick volume a tiny bit. I personally like the bass guitar and kick to jell together very well to great a massively tight lowend when you move into mastering.
also just clean up your editing on the guitars a bit. and I'd tweek your "Vocal Room" settings. either the reverb/delay is too loud or you need to pick different settings. right now it's really close to how it should be. but it's still giving off this fell of "too much".


I like how this is coming together. it has a good vibe about it. heading in the right direction.
