Hi!
The beat has too much bass IMO, you should try taking a little but of your sub out. Also the kick needs some EQ, as it's very boomy. It also seems to me that your kick is very long, with a duration spanning over the whole beat, which overpowers the low end (on my AKG I hear manly a voooooom on the low end over the entire track). So, to me it seems muddy and needs cleaning up  - make the kick shorter, EQ the kick, lower the sub, EQ the beat.
However, why would you need three layers to make this type of bass? IMO, apart from the sub sine wave, one saw wave could make this bass, with particular attention on the amp envelope to make it a bit clicky (percussive) and filter envelope to give it some acid feel.
Unless your third "bass" is the one playing the separate melody going "badadada bam wham", which I wouldn't call a bass (even if a bass instrument was used), but a low-mid lead, as it doesn't interfere with the beat (it's more of a lead than a bassline). Also, this lead is extremely repetitive, and IMO it needs a lot more going on, modulating and transforming itself into something else.. and you could place another lead answering this one, as it only plays for 2 beats, and then silences for two more beats: you could plane another lead in this silence complementing the first one 
Hope I helped.
