Bass tracks do not have as clean a sound as other instrument tracks.

For one reason or other, my bass tracks do not have as clear/clean sound as my other instrument tracks.

For lack of a better explanation, there seems to be a buzzing/vibrating sound. Were as my other instrument tracks are clean and crisp.

What may I be doing wrong??????

What fx are you using?  

What instrument is being used?

Are you using any EQ to filter out any frequency ranges that conflict with other instruments?

Are you using a separate bus for the bass tracks to feed, or does everything just go straight to the master out from your tracks?

Nowhere near enough information.

What sort of bass? i.e. did you record a real bass yourself or is it synth/sample based?

If you recorded it, how did you do it? Mic up an amp? DI? Straight into your interface? Amp Sim?

What levels are showing on the track? What Fx are you using?

I use the Free Ample P bass lite. Yes seems like it was recorded ( the samples) possibly using a Tube Amp so it definitely has a fuzzy sound. But in a mix it sounds pretty good to me. 
 

Other things come to mind is that you are creating way too much sub bass. Open the Pro Channel EQ and the fly out spectrum graph. 
That or Span.

+1 to the above, we definitely need more background to understand this better. Also, are you referring to the bass track when soloed or when mixing? An audio snippet of whichever case would help even more than trying to describe in text.
