A very fun romp, I actually enjoyed this immensely.
There are a few things I think might not really work in the context of a live performance, like some of your chords arrive a tiny bit too fast after a rapid run to be easily playable.
My only other worry is that the extensive individuality you've given to the contrabass won't quite sound as rich as you would like. I noticed a lot of dense, low register chords, which didn't quite work to my ear. Most of these were caused by the simple fact that you divided the contrabasses from the celli almost through-out the piece. A few places you dropped the c-basses and quite honestly, the celli could have used the support.
I particularly liked your little opening motif, and how you tossed it to different duo-sections of the ensemble.
Oh, the score could use some cleaning up as well.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
