A good bass part is just about a line that supports the song in a way that you like. When you're new to it it can be too easy to fall back on root notes, or end up playing a melody.

It is often important to leave plenty of space. It could also be that your drums need to support the bass part a little better.

But without hearing your example it's going to be hard to know how to guide you. Let us hear what you have.
