So I found a great acapella and made a track, but didnt really like the bass line, and wanted to go for a more jackin/bass house feel. So I removed the bass line so it wouldn't distract/lead anyone's ideas...(the silence before the drops is a space for a bass line lead in, as is common in some future/jackin house)

Impatient people can skip to 3:05 for the complete idea

does anyone have any ideas? Feel free to go at it and we could even collab...I've tried so many different sounds and melodies for the bass and theyre just not clicking. I'm pretty sure the key is D minor because I got the acapella from a song in Ab minor and pitched it down 6 semis....obviously since im only using that one line of the acapella it could easily be notes from another scale as well but its a starting point

also open to feedback on the other parts of the track as is

thanks!

really repetitive, feels like background music than anything else tbh. write a cool bassline for it dude, sounds like you already have one around the intro.
