Recorded my first bass line

I wanted to try something I thought I can do, and after watching some videos on YouTube of how to easily make a bass line, and searching TikTok for someone recording their own song or their own version of a song that didn't include a bass, I found one and gave it a go. I still consider myself a beginner so I know this isn't perfect. Curious to hear the thoughts of other bassists though.

 
Sounding great! I would recommend trying to be a little less "busy" with your right hand. Like you have some "pull" notes where you pull your finger from your left hand off the string ... see if you like the sound of just letting the string continue to ring when you pull off the fret instead of plucking it again with your right hand. Fun song, keep it up!
