@Roy. Thanks for the comments. You got me, man 
. I was just trying to get the instruments to work together so that I can hear everything and didn't pay attention to depth/subtlety as I should. I will, tho, now that you mentioned it. I don't know how to tackle it yet (any suggestions from anyone here is super appreciative), but I think automation and level balance and fx have something to do with it.
Yeah, man, I try to use more fx (mostly reverb) in my mix but still very clumsy in handling it. Every time I put it in it seems to mess my mix up more than it helps, (big, long, seemingly endless sigh). I can never hear the fx until I push it up, tho I heard the pros say that to back it off a bit (how much is "a bit" is still a mystery to me) after I hear it. The problem is when I backed it off I wouldn't be able to hear it anymore, and so the vicious cycle began. I think I need to learn how to listen to it properly.
About the bass. I'll reign it in, but it does sound good in my cans to me. Thanks for the time, bro.
