bass guitar
Since most people here seem to be ignorant of what a bass is:
1) It was NOT "based off the guitar", it's an electric adaptation of the double bass which became awkward and increasingly less audible compared to other instruments in the earliest rock/jazz bands.
2) While easier to learn than guitar, it is far far more difficult to master. Anyone can sound cool playing the pentatonic scale and power chords over and over; it takes a great more deal of musical skill and talent to be excellent at bass.
3) On a related note "Anyone who plays guitar can play bass by default" is ridiculous. If you have no sense of rhythm and can't keep a beat, then you can't play bass. Hell, most guitarists I've met can't even play the bass without making the frets buzz their first few times.
4) Bass is a rhythm instrument, with a deeper more mellow sound. Guitar is melodic (or at least mostly used for such). To say bass is inferior to guitar is also stupid.

1) The advent of the electric bass guitar revolutioned new age music
2) A guitarist can sound "amazing" in just a couple years. I'd like to see anyone learn Victor Wooten's Classical Thump in just a couple of years.
3) "Whoa dude whats wrong with your frets? Why are they buzzing??" - Guitarist who thinks he can play bass
4) Have you ever heard a band with two guitarists and no bassist? It sounds like a transistor radio

Get the bass guitar mug.The greatest Indian girl you will ever meet, usually very educated. She has a great sense of humor and many good friends. She is easy to trust, and amazing to know. She spreads happiness and knowledge where ever she steps. She has a million dollar smile, and loves to laugh. She is sometimes mistaken as too plain and quiet because of her shy and reserved nature in public, but she truly opens up only to people she sees worth her time. While young she is adorable and persevering, as an adult she is beautiful and successful. She is not very common, but a treasure if you find her, like a rare gem.
Girl 1: Wow, that Gurleen sure is a great girl.
Boy 1: Yeah, I know right, she's so good at everything, how does she do it?
Boy 2: Who's the smart girl with the adorably, great smile?
Girl 2: Oh, that's Gurleen, you should meet her, she's simply AMAZING!

Something so awesome, so amazing, so epic, so badass and so manly that no word in any language has the power to fully describe something that unreachable. Hence, why it's Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Get the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann mug.When you're up so late (normally due to impending deadline) that the dawn chorus starts, reminding you of how tired you're going to be the next day and making you feel guilty for leaving the work until the last minute
Ahhh man, i had to stay up so late to finish this work that the guilty birds were out, then i felt bad!!

Get the Guilty Birds mug.A way for creepy people with porn mustaches to say hello or "I understand". Hold your fingers in the shape of guns (use both hands for maximum effect) and point at someone who just arrived. Bend thumbs to simulate shooting your finger guns and make a clicking sound with your mouth. May be accompanied with a wink in extreme cases.
That dude that looks like he just fell out of the 70's just offered me a piece of candy and then winked and gave me finger guns. I said no.

Get the finger guns mug.Unlike the meaning of "gualla", Gualla with a capital G means money. Gualla is also a movement by which a person stays on the hustle and grind to get money. Gualla is also way of earning money known in the rap/hip-hop movement.
"Yo, I stayed up on my grind all night selling these dvd players to get my Gualla up." or
"Man I always gotta keep my Gualla up, cause I be on my Gualla game"
