  The recording is fine.  The bass may be a little loud, but there's not

 The only issue with the bass, and it has nothing to do with the
recording, sounds like he's digging in really hard, and he's either got
a tiny amount of fret buzz, or the strings are hitting the pickup.  But
that's a setup issue.

  It's great.  At this point, just give it to a mastering engineer.
