So my bass playing...

Learn as much music theory as you can.

Yay, I suck too!  Makes me feel good I'm not the only one.... Recently I spent an hour just getting one short riff down from Rush.... still, you don't want to hear it.  Though the songs I've made up, I'm kind of proud of.  You just have to play around and excert your abilities alittle bit.  I've also like taking piano songs from early learning stages and playing those too.  Try playing marry had a little lamb!  That's a fun one!  One suggestion too, try to avoid tabs from tabs sight.  Those things are stupid in my opinion, hence my slaughtering of Rush.  Poor Rush, I hope they never hear my futile attempts to play thier material.  But just start simple and slowly move on, you have to challenge your self with something harder.  If you don't mind metal, Queensryche has some tight stuff, but also a little more simple in some places, just do something that's challenging but not impossible.

^^ Have you ever heard Pink Floyd basslines? Some of those are pretty tough.
