bassist

a bassist is part of the glue in music along with the drummer
sometimes they may want to take control but who can blame them? they hardly ever solo and dont like guitarists intruding on their sonic space.

guitarists maybe cool but us bassists rule!

Bass Clarinet

It's like a clarinet and saxaphone put together. It is 900 decatrillion times better than a ordinary soprano clarinet (the most common clarinet, the one you start off with before the bass). The Bass Clarinet is ballin. Freakin wayyy better. I don't know you, but some people that are insane about it say it's "The Sexiest Instrument Ever!". I'd say it is the sexiest instrument too because of it's elegent design.

It also has a beastly sound dude. No kidding man. The Bass Clarinet is the Beast overall!

The clarinet is bull. It's too old school. Not enough "Manlyness".

Bassist

A bassist is a musician who plays either stand-up bass or the bass guitar. He/she provides the rhythmic and harmonic foundation to a song, and is found in most any type of music, including jazz, rock, heavy metal, salsa, classical, funk, and even hip-hop.

Due to simplistic and unimaginative musicians taking over the rock mainstream, the bassist is often looked at as the guy in the background thumping along on the E-string, playing root notes and doubling the rhythm guitar. Anyone who thinks this cannot rightly be blamed; after all, there are so many "I play 4 notes per song and contribute nothing" bassists out there such as Paul Thomas, Brent Wilson, Pete Wentz, and David Desrosiers (to name a few) that the instrument hardly gets any recognition among casual music fans. The aforementioned, however, are actually not bassists but something called "failed guitarists" who had too much trouble with bar chords but decided they wanted to be in a band anyway, and switched to bass. Such "musicians" have no business being in the same category as Les Claypool, Victor Wooten, Flea, and even nu-metalers like Fieldy and Ryan Martinie who gave something to music.

What goes unrealized is how the right bassline, played by a true bassist and not just a failed guitarist, can make an otherwise average song extraordinary.

Person 1: Hey, I can't even hear the bassist in this song.

Person 2: Yeah, because he's just playing the root notes and the producer tuned him out because his timing sucks anyway.

-OR-

Person 1: Dude, the bass in this Primus track is sick!

Person 2: Yeah, Claypool is a truly awesome bassist.

Bassaleg School

A state comprehensive school in South Wales, which has been the scene of many famous criminal scenes. The most significant being the wilcox rapes of 84 and 92, also to be remembered - Mr Parry ( 80- 94) who, just like much of the Catholic church, was let off for child molestation charges because of his religious views. Mr Maughan was the subject of an police inquiry in 2007 after he was photographed by members of his class drinking whiskey and rolling cigarettes, during year 7 classes. He was later charged with being drunkenly disorderly at the Christmas party. However the school has had a very daunting history, ever since its birth in 1911, by buisnessman Doctor P. Parker ( great grandad of transexual Mr Parker), it has been the subject of vast criticism. Doctor Peter Parker was extremely right wing and tried to establish the school based on the principals of race and nationality. He wanted only native transexuals to be allowed in the school, excluding a very small minority of the Newport city population who actually have an obvious gender classification. However after negotiations with Reverand Samuel p Finn - the grandmother of Paul Flyn - who was jailed in 2009 for public nudity at Belvue park, the school was allowed to open, prescribing that maths and english be taught for at least 40 minutes a week, and that detentions for bad hair days and unwaxed bikini lines had to go.
