Hi there,
I like very much the fact that you got a good double bass sound from a couple of tricky bass tracks. Where I tried to boost the mid-freqs, the ambience of the bass amp track came too prominently as muddy.
So there's some muffling in you bass but I believe it's the compromise.
Something else I may be worth commenting (but I'm not fully sure if it's just volume balance) is trying to have an aligned dynamic range for all instruments: it seems the vox is well solidly (over?) compressed and the other instruments are "shy". I typically have a rounds of compression levels checks on busses to see how far each hits the compressor(s) throughout the song to avoid unbalances, and also re-check the holds (where applicable) and releases of the comps.
Of this unbalance the result may be that while the saliva is heard moving in the vox, the rimshot is lost in space behind with little ambience.
I'm a bit drastic here with the example. Just trying to help.
cheers
