I like how the chorus effect sounded on the bass in the second track, but you have to be carefull when adding effects to bass, as it can make the bass get lost in the mix. One thing to keep in mind about the drums, a drummers kit doesn't go from one end of the stage to another. Use a little panning to sepparate the kit a bit, but don't get too wide with things... it tends to sounds fake when you do that. Lord knows I've been to blame for doing that plenty of times lol. When you're mixing, especilly filling out the sound space, try to picture a band on stage, and use that as a panning template. You also want to make sure that the instruments aren't stepping on each others toes in the sonic space too. I posted a couple of links on that in >THIS THREAD<. Overall.... good job ;)
