Hello, I can completely relate to this poem, since I am also a musician, though not of the bass. I play the piano, and it's very true everything you've said about the bass line.
On to the review: I think this poem will flow a lot better if you take out the repeated line "what am I." Usually' riddle-like poems such as this are not broken up by that question. I also think the ending might work better if of settle on one answer rather than saying, "I am the upright bass, or more so, the bass line." I think 'the bass line' is suitable enough to cover the upright bass but also include all other bass instruments. Also, I feel like, because the poem is bout music, that it should have a more musical quality to the rhythm. Think of it as rap. Say your poem out loud as if you are rapping, and you'll be able to hear the parts that don't flow as well as others. Hope that helped even a little, and good luck:)
