Hi,
The base line is really nice but the hole track is in huge clip, I had to decrease the level of the volume almost to minimum and still I could hear distortion. you should decrease the volume of the mixer (in case you're using cubase) before you export the track... it was really hard to hear something like this.
I suggest that you'll export it again but before doing it, make sure you have no clips in the mix.

but do u think i should only turn down the bass line in the mixer, or turn down all the levels???

You should turn down all levels.... untill you're track doesn't clip (which means doesn't rise above 0 dB) in the Mixer channel.
Of course the track should still be in mix...

i think the bassline could be filtered lower so more subby, probably more reverb as it comes through too cleanly imo. another lower frequency layer could work also. possibly more compression.
the glockenspiel harmonies are v discordant, maybe you were going for that but for me they are offputting.
the mix is lacking a little sparkle that would come with more presence in the upper mid frequencies (2khz and above). in fact for the practice I mastered it a little - hope you don't mind! but if you want to hear the results I can put it on soundclick.

hey buddy, just uploaded the remaster of your track at:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/1/saxopholusmusic.htm

It can't be accessed for a day or 2, so check back soon - something about clearing the song. not sure tho if it will be easy to hear the difference yet at 128 resolution, but let's see.

till then it's worth having a look at a tutorial by my band mate Steve aka hipnotic on EQ - helped me a lot:

http://www.dnbscene.com/articles.php?mode=display&id=79

once you've read that it's also worth trying a plug-in by Elemental Audio called Firium which tells you realtime what frequencies are lacking or too high and also is an EQ device. still the free Inspector by the same company may be all you need to analyse your tunes and help you give them more presence:
