bassist

A bassist- short for 'bass guitarist' is the most underated musician in poular music. ordinary music fans generally just listen to the vocals and guitar while ignoring the bass, which is not really their fault, but the fault of crap bassists who dont play basslines, just root notes, and producers in the studio, who often compress songs so much that the bass is almost silent. bassists play the bass guitar, much like a guitar, but much bigger and based on the upright double bass. It is tuned one octave lower than the guitar and it usually has 4 strings and 21-24 frets, but you can get 5,6,8 and 12+ string basses and fretless basses to get differnt sounds out of the instrument. The Bassist is the band member that gets you dancin', (although you probably dont know it) and bassists play their instrument by picking, plucking with two to four fingers, slapping and tapping the strings. Many uneducated cretins believe that is 'just like a guitar, but its easier, cus you only have to play one string at a time... drool, slather...etc'. But in reality a good bassist lays down the groove, can walk all over the fretboard, and can lock with the drummer as part of the rythm section. Guitarists and singers may steal the spotlight, but the bassist is the one holding it all together. He is the musical glue, the perfect balance between the melody and the beat of the song. and pretty goddamn funky too.
some famous and talanted bassists include:
Jaco Pastorius,
Victor Wooten,
Les Claypool,
Flea,
Billy Sheenan,
John Myung,
Sid Vicous, (just joking!)
Stanley Clarke,
Geddy Lee,
Cliff Burton,
Steve Harris etc.

'woah, feel the groove that bassist's holding down!

Bass Drop

One of the best charictaristics in Dubstep, Drum and Bass etc.

its normaly when the percussion pauses for a second and then comes back with a heavier bassline.

it is always very pleasurable to hear one but you really need to hear it on a big sound system to know how good it is.

"that gig last night was well good"

"yeah...and when the bass dropped"

"yeah it was so heavy"

bassage

Means being "massaged" by loud bass music.

Often in the context of serious car audio installations that are capable of reproducing low frequency (often 15-40hz) loud enough to shake, vibrate the listener and car to the extent it gives the feeling of a massage.

In sentence:
"I was out late night driving, getting my bassage."
"Music was so loud it bassaged me."
"That's one helluva bassage!"
