Can I get some feedback on this?

This is a song I recently wrote, still working on it, I feel it's missing something, just haven't figured out what that something is. If anyone would like to play this and give me some feedback, I would appreciate it very much.

Thank You

It's a "song"? If so, then I think it needs lyrics and a melody!! Otherwise it's a 'composition' ... well that's how I think of it anyway.

Also you've got every section in the same key area, and used one mode throughout. It's usually wise (not always) to differentiate the sections of a song more obviously. You can use changed key, changed chords, various melody changes, whatever lifts the chorus and makes the verse 'versey' and the bridge 'bridgey' - this is easier to do if you know the lyrical story that you're trying to tell.

From the formatting it looks like you are playing a 2 note chord for every note of the song. On bass, I'd generally avoid this. But maybe I read your tabs wrong.
