help with kick/bass ?

I've been working on this track for like..4 days or so and something is really bugging me about it. Mostly..i suck when i try to get my kicks and bass to work together and something sounds aggravating when im listening to my tune. Can anyone help me with some EQing idea's or what not? heres a sample of it for you guys to hear.

Ok, your bass is too sub, thereby making it inaudible. The sustain is also too long. You should either raise the mids, or make a separate bass altogether that covers mid-high frequency ranges (this is what many pros do.)

okay, thats all i really needed to know. i'm still messing around with the bass and so far im getting it to sound a bit better. thanks if anyone else has any insight on it, feel free to respond.
