In my opinion that's not a very driving bassline. It's just a simple off beat.
This is much more driving:

Anyways, this is so beyond the scope of a forum thread. You need YEARS of experience to produce at that level.
I'd say learn how to EQ properly. Proper use of compression. Learn syncopation, it's essential for the percussion to add drive.
Sound design is very important and often overlooked.
