Hi!
I'm unsure whether there's too much bass (guitar) in the mix on this track I did. I've tested this on 2 different monitor setups and 2 different headphones. Each pair of monitors gave me a different result. The bass seemed to be more noticeable/overbearing on the headphones.

Appreciate your thoughts.
What headphones and monitors are you using?
In any case, the bass is heavier, but it's not particularly muddy so it's a matter of preference whether or not there's too much of it. Most monitors and headphones will give you slightly different audio results and that's okay. What matters is which point of reference do you mix best with, and which one gives you the best representation of the target medium? For example, mixing out of full size monitors may or may not accurately represent what a song would end up sounding like coming out of an iPhone. Stuff like that changes the decisions you make for the final mixdown.
