I had already put a low pass at 40hz / 18db/oct.

Why the boost at 129hz out of interest?
I thought some of the bass notes could have been a bit louder. Seemed to make a bit of difference as I searched around frequencies.

As far as trebles. Some melody notes did hit a bit hard. Partially a volume thing. I would not call it harsh. When you listen back through studio monitors in near field or with studio headphones the high frequencies have higher punch than you would get with most music listening consumer products. Also with distance the treble frequencies are the first to drop off. Personally I do tweaks around what sounds good to me with my Grado headphones within my DAW. The raw recording is always around should I want to tweak later.
