When I said make it tighter, I was saying basically pare down your basslines. Don't use three, but just have one that provides some flow. Like I said, you have no drive problems, IMO, but your sound is really muddy in the low end. Cleaning out your low end of necessary elements will help with that.

i think your kick may be fractionaly too loud and the hats which come in at 24 seconds need to come up and out of the mix a bit.

the bass sound u have used is very bassy but with little peak or punch, thus it is merging with your kick drum, making it sound like u simply have a 4x4 extended kick. so u are lacking the alternating bass that can offer quite alot of drive.

you may also not want to vary the bass line absolutely with the melody, just keep it in key, a driving bass line tends to be quite simple.

finaly, you may want to try and give more drive from somethign new in the high or mid section.

IMO
