Boo Boo your bass sounds like its for some miami bass song, but i know what you was trying to do as far as sustaining notes, and the problem i have with reverb is you can hear it...It used to be good effects you couldnt hear the effect
( rules..hahah) and with your sounds being more digital it makes it sound even thinner and cold...the drums aint bad but they just dont sit well with the bassline..ive read that when you mixing the kick adds punch to the bass melody.. and they are almost one in the same as far as levels..kik maybe just a smidge louder, then again aint no rules.. the beat is great besides the bassline though, im saying do what comes natural to you...forcing something to be funky doesnt always work, experiment because you know your bassline melodies sometimes need a lil something..so try making different style beats that you do not normally and you may find the piece ya missing or need work on...its in there just gotta tap into it...
here are some songs from a firend my boys produced these songs

here is something a lil more funky but still R&B
http://www.zshare.net/audio/45069028465968/
simple bassline but effective..with sparingly sustain..
