EQ advice would be appreciated

I have this song here "Bury Me In The Sky". It sounds good to my ears but I've been working on it for a while, and I think the repetition of having to hear it over and over while working on it has skewed my perception of it. Can you listen to it and give me some feedback? Thanks a lot.

Take the guitar down - a lot - are there drums in there, can't find them. Drop the mids and lows on the guitar, it sounds like a crappy bass (I hope that's not what it is) Sweep the drums on the eq to find sweet spots and make the kick and snare stand out more. Drop the highs on the vox a bit. This reminds me of the old days when I was hanging out in the New England punk scene.

you hit the nail on the head there, it is a crappy bass, I picked it up from a friend for $30. Is there any way to get around that?

So, no guitar? If it is the bass then kill "some" of the distortion on it and bring the level down quite a bit and I would really play with the eq on it to blend in better.
