The drums took the most work but I had plenty to work with from all the guitar tracks. And I can heartily recommend the Bass Professor MkII in the Reapack extensions.
The technical bit
The hihat is fitting soundwise but a bit loud - unbalanced with the drum ensemble

The artistic bit
Justification to bass heaviness: following your comment, and interpreting the mood of the song, bass heavy should be in funk bass groovy, transporting the song along.
The electric bass alone does not fulfill all the groove of this song, especially in some breaks where the long bass notes are still while the kick goes on. And the kick is weak (or less powerful than the bass line).
Trick number 1 in rock mix is to solo bass and kick and balance the two loudness wise. (trick number 0 would be always do not pan snare: dead center).

To summarise:
- less bass
- more kick (that alone bring the need for some drum rebalancing)
- review the bit invasive hihat (that also give some space to the rest of the drum set and the soloist instruments)

my opinion, ok? Smile
cheers
