Need some advice on a mix

[88mph]

Hey guys, I was working on a band's debut and we almost recorded everything except the real drums and vocals. So, for me it's wrong starting the mix before recording the drums but, I was gonna use some samples (replacement) on drums, so I'm trying to figure out how they're going to sound when it's all done.

Anyways, I tried to convince them to reamp the guitar tracks but they say they're on a really really tight budget, so they're going to settle with SoloC and 8505

Here's a short part of a song I roughly mixed yesterday. Could you give me some advice on the overall sound. After a couple of listenings, I can't figure out what's right or wrong Need some time to rest my ears. (kick is too loud, isn't it, tell me the truth)

To me, the kick sounds fine in context of what you posted.

thanx ulverine, this means a lot. seriously, you guys, just tell me the things that disturbs your ear. like "i'd go with a more decent bass tone" or "guitars suck" is also something

If the bassist isn't against it, I would try to duplicate the basstrack, highpass it at ~300hz and put it thru a distortion plugin just to give it some grit.

believe it or not we were just talkin about you, they put the sample on myspace and i showed them your "myspace rapes" graphs.

dublicating the track for a little distortion was always in my mind but never sure about that. i'll give it a try. thanks a lot.
