Alright, I gave another shot at the mix. I think I need to start using my 'tools' around me..

I like the new mix. The bass needs a little brightening (got that indistinct one-note effect going on) and the hats could come down a little for the verses. Vocals are fine, right up front and clear. Try the free Voxengo Boogex on the bass to give it a little stronger presence.
 
Here's a creative idea: put some long reverb on the guitar and automate it so it's out for most of the song but gradually comes in during the fadeout.

I might actually pull the vocals back little bit and try to decompress the overall mix- feels a little TOO comp'd now! Then again for some reason
 
I'm gonna apply an LFO to define a little rhythm to the bass. There's one on there, but it's not doing enough at the moment. When you say it needs more definition, bit- are you referring to the tone, like more mids/highs? Or rhythmic figures?
 
I like that idea- I think I want the solo guitar to (1: NOT suck and) sit a little further in the mix from the start.
