Mixing a full-lenght(vintage Music Man bass,custom amp, 5150->Framus cab, real drums)

[Soundlurker]

Hey guys, as the topic states I'm mixing a band's album and I'd be really gratefull if you help me make it sound awesome. I'm happy with how it's turning out so far, but I need some feedback to be sure I'm on the right track and also to fix some things I may have overlooked.

The bass is a really cool sounding Music Man Sabre, probably from the 70s or 80s. Guitars are 2 tracks 5150 into my Framus Dragon cab and 2 tracks of my custom amp into Guitarhack's impulses. Drums were some yamaha set with a nice kick (unfortunately the heads on the toms were awful so I had to replace them), the snare was some metal Pearl, I think.

Edit:
Final (maybe) version: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1891957/EF_Sample.mp3

really not liking the music, but I am diggin' the guitar sound and especially the basssound but I am a music man fanboy so

 

[Soundlurker]

Yeah don't feel obliged to like the band

I'm glad you like the guitar tone. How's the clean guitar?

I know what you mean about the Music Man. Before, I used to think "wow these bass guitars are so expensive yet they look ...". Once I plugged it in, though, I knew that was the best sounding bass guitar I've recorded..and still is.

Edit: it was a Sabre not a Stingray

The mix sounds great.

I would take a tiny bit of highs out of the snare- it can definitely get a little papery sounding at times.

The guitars are a slight bit too scooped for my tastes for this particular type of music, but otherwise amazing. Great clarity and high end.

The bass is phenomenal.

Your last mix sounds great... I was annoyed by the highs in the first mix but now it sounds really good!

 

[Soundlurker]

I'm really happy you guys like it
I guess I'll finally finish this ancient project. We started back in late 07, finished the drums for the 10 songs in 6 hours, then bass guitar for three 6-hour sessions and as for the rest - we've been working on and off for 2 years now
