Critique my sound

Hey everyone! I'm seriously trying to get into the recording / mixing aspect of things. So, in that vein, I would like you guys to critique the sound. Pick it apart in terms of tone, mix, feel, etc. I plan on graduating to a mic / mixing desk soon, but for now it's all digital. Here's the kit:

Guitar: Carvin DC727 w/ Crunch Lab / Liquifire -> POD X3 Pro Cali Crunch, TS-9, 4x12 T-75 cab sim, 57 on axis. Slight delay between L/R to make it a bit wider.

Bass: Cheap-o Ibanez 5-string, POD X3 Pro Modern Rock model setting with some mild eq (Boost 300, cut 800, boost 1.25k)

Drums: Acoustica Beatcraft. (Can't wait to upgrade to Superior 2.0!)

Things I already know I need: Better drum program, better earphones, some kind of spectrum analyzer to balance my monitors to my room.

And here's the mix: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10244699

I'm no recording expert but I liked the guitar sound. Very ballsy but still clear - I hate it when the guitar sound is so distorted you can't even pick what chord it is.

I have no signature

Thanks! I normally go for quite saturated myself. I decided to back the gain off as an experiment...dropped it to 20%. I'm glad it worked out well.

I think I'm going to try bass again un EQ'd.

Remixed:

Changed amp to Treadplate model, still using reduced gain (around 50%). Kept TS-9 model as-is. Switched to V30 cab model and added some room sound. Bass is now the Power Pop model, added a compressor and maxed out the gain.

This time it's 3 takes of the main guitar (Hard L/R, one straight up the middle) and 2 takes of effects guitar (70% L/R). 

This is all based on feedback I've been getting from other forums. I'm trying to make my patches fit together so there's as little post-production necessary as possible. It's interesting to hear the evolution thus far.
