Yay! So much better man 
A really big improvement in your balance! I mean there is still plenty of low end....maybe a little too hot for some ...but its in the realms of personal taste now as oppose to being technically flawed
Absolutely....If you can exaggerate your monitor output as per Dave's suggestion, that's gonna be a massive help
Sure you do Dave....Me....My standard monitor output is calibrated to 60 dB SPL when generating -14dBFS pink noise...which yields 70 dB SPL when mixing to K20 (slow response, C weighting)
Apart from those with "golden ears".....I think most of us either have a bass bias or a treble bias. I remember an interview with "sting" who said as a kid, he always reached for the bass control on the radio/record player.....I'm the opposite....I always reached for the treble.....You're probably a Bass Man
I've been told many times that my mixes are bright in the past...and I wasn't really aware of it.....but I've become conscious of learning to produce mixes that are more neutral and really listening to reference material.
So now you can get back to doing what you do best....going crazy with re-amping, tones and plug-ins
Cheers, Simon

Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
