I suggest you try and listen to and seperate out the guitar tones from your favourite songs. Listen very carefully to exactly how much of the signal you're hearing is bass, how much of it is a single guitar track, and how much of it is actually one guitar part, double tracked.

You'll find yourself consistently surprised by one thing - Those huge meshuggah and Gojira-esque guitar sounds are very rarely as bassy as they sound in a mix, and they very rarely use as much gain on them as you'd think. Seperated out of the mix, they sound remarkably thin.
