I'd think about doubling the acoustic guitar and putting the double on the right. Bring down the electric in the solo, it comes out of nowhere a little aggressively. You could also consider lowering it when the vocals come back in if you want that drastic entrance. I'd like more mids in the bass and lowering the bass a little as well. Right now the low end gets pretty muddy. Personally, I think the kick drum makes the chorus sound a little loose. I get what it's trying to accomplish, but it doesn't quite hit it right. Maybe you can move the kick a little closer with some editing.

Nice that you tagged it Red Hot Chili Peppers, you're shooting right up that alley.

Yea, i'll have a look at all of them things! I'm not sure the pro tools I use has any editing tools of that sort.

Yea, thats what I thought to

Well, you can easily hear it was mixed by a bass player.
Sorry but that's not a good thing.
