Hi, Dags.
Sorry for the confusion. 'Bass-light' (to me) refers to the frequency spectrum of the mix itself.
I've a hunch that more work on getting the guitars beefier will come from fixing the lower-mids. Sometimes when I find problems like this, I'll take the bass out completely to work on the 'weight' of the guitars then add the bass next - just to see how you can get it to 'poke' through the guitars. You'd be surprised how much 'bottom' you can roll off a bass guitar and still get it to work well in the mix.
Yes... the more you mix, the 'better' you get. It all takes time :o)
Hope this helped a bit.
