Looking for mix feedback

I posted a new song in my profile, and I'm actually starting to work on improving my mixes... I think this might be one of my better ones. I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions.
It's called New 10.17.08

Oct 17, 2008 10:48 pm Pretty solid overall. The drums are very dry to me, I would verb them a tad which can also add a little power.
Also, I did not hear much bass... or something, it just seems a little thin.
Oct 18, 2008 12:33 am sounds pretty raw, i like it.
a little verb on drums would gel it together more.
its is punk though and i like the way it comes across. i think if you go too mad on the verb it will kill that raw punk edge.
sounds sweet though man.
Oct 18, 2008 10:09 pm IF you do add any verb on the drums make it a very small room type with not much tail. And keep it really light. I might bring the level of the snare down a tiny bit as well, its a killer snare but is a bit out front.
On the bass thing, I agree it needs to be more present. The guitar tones are killer and nicely pictured in the mix. For the bass, I can't really tell, but try a bit of boost between 900hz and 1200hz, sweep it to find a good thump then narrow the Q down until it is just there. Then maybe a bit in the mid on it to make it have just that little bit of snap.
I'll listen again tomorrow as well.
Oct 18, 2008 10:43 pm excellent overall tune. I agree about the low end though. Are you running a sub? Maybe dial it back a bit... judging by the rest of the mix I would say you are not hearing your low end properly... I could be out to lunch though...just that everything else was mentioned already.
For the verb... try doubling up your overheads and nudge them a bit (less than 30 ms). Bring the faders up slowly until you just begin to hear them. Again, just another thing to try.
