Working backwards...
If the bass works for you I can't argue. I can only go by what I feel on my end. I would say check out some other 'commercial' tracks for reference to see if it's comparable. I'm bad at low end So i could always be wrong. I'm usually bass heavy though I feel like, generally, less is more.
Effects are tricky. I still have issues with them. I'm just pulling this out of nowhere but I'd say consider the effect part of the part and not something too 'out there'. We tend to view effects as something special and they (for the most part) should enhance and/or reinforce a part. Always consider if something helps or distracts.
For the record, I'm never trying to 'get'. My critiques are from an honest place and I sincerely want everyone to be a better mixer. So I can learn and be one myself.
