Real Drums, Mesa / JCM900 Guitars and Ampeg Bass! What do you think?

[sgt.pepper]

Hey here's a new mix from me. Please let me know your thoughts.

Drums, Bass, Guitars are all recorded, vocals will be added these days.

For the drums i played around with the aptrigga demo, so there will be some little noises. Kick, Snare, Toms are 50% real / 50% sampled. But i'm not shure about my overhead sound...

Guitars are a Mesa Power Amp with a Marshall JCM900 Top and 4x12.

Bass was recorded with an Ampeg Combo. Maybe the Bass is to loud in the mix?

Thanks for your comments!

I always give two big thumbs up for real recorded drums!!! Sounds pretty okay, but the Guitarsound reminds me on "and Justice for all" in a not really positive way. There are some frequences who might hurt the ear, I think about 4000 khz. Maybe you could cut the guitars in this area. Try to get more wealth and get rid of the thinness..I would say.

Groovin shit, guitars sound undergained too.

Pretty cool song. The guitars sound undergained and are quite woofy sounding throughout most of the song. The overheads sound fine to me but I'm not a big fan of the kick sound, it seems a little thin. Snare is also a little thin for my taste too but certainly usable. Bass sounds pretty good but could use some automation because it is little loud in some places.

Thanks for your comments!

Okay the guitars are undergained but i can't change it anymore.

I took out some of the upper mids and added some lower ones to the guitars, but maybe you will find it to much now!?

@2000ContourSVT: i'm not a big fan of the kick sound too. now i changed it a little bit, but its still not perfect...

and i added some boddy to the snare, now i find that it sounds better.

for the bass i took out the volume a little bit but i'm going to automat it soon...
until now there is nothing automated on this song.

@Necromancer197666: what do you mean with: 'Groovin shit'?

So...here is the result of my changes:
