[LAU] some live tracks - need some advice

Greetings,

I've posted some recordings from a performance of my band last Saturday 
night. The tracks are simple unprocessed and unmastered board 
recordings, made by the soundman for the gig. As such they're intended 
primarily as a record of the performance, but I'd like to use some of 
them for tracks on a CD to sell at gigs. Here's where I need the advice.

As you can tell, the bass is too well-recorded (it had a direct line 
out). I'd like to be able to diminish its presence, but I think I need 
some advice on using EQ. Also, the originals had no processing, so I 
added a bit of CAPS Stereo Versatile Plate in ReZound. I'm curious to 
know what others here might do. Alas, there are no 
multichannel/multitrack versions, I have to work with the present stereo 
mix.

You can hear the tracks here:

    http://linux-sound.org/audio/I_Dont_Know_Your_Name.ogg

MP3 versions are also available (s/ogg/mp3).

I'll send them through JAMin later today, so any advice re: using JAMin 
would be especially helpful, but I'm interested in any & all responses.

Btw, ReZound and the encoders were the only Linux audio software used 
for these tracks.

Enjoy, critique, keep breathing.

Best,

dp
