String Bass

A large string instrument which plays very low tones and is, colloquially put, a bitch to carry around. The bass players have one of the hardest jobs in an orchestra, because they must keep a steady beat (to prevent the violins from speeding up or slowing down), but they must also change their tempo if the violins ignore their beat. The strings are usually tuned E, A, D, and G, in ascending order.

Sam: "Do I get to park in a handicapped parking spot because I have to carry a bass around?"

David: "No."

Sam: "Well, I should."

David: "Yeah. It's hard work, but playing string bass is awesome."

Sam: "Indeed."

Bass Sax Player

Bass Saxophones were the first saxophone ever created. They are typically seen in String Bands composed of Woodwinds and Strings, Saxophone Ensembles and in rare cases Wind Ensembles/Concert Bands. Bass sax players are the more brutal, masculine and stronger saxophone player, being the only ones to be able to lug the monstrosity around. The powder puffs use saxophone stands, the mediocre use harnesses, but the true Manly Men use Neck Straps. There is always a need for Bass Saxophone in any band or orchestra setting. Typically used to replace the Bass Clarinet Player. Bass Sax Players are always known for their massive penis and sexual prowess.

Director: I can never hear all 5 bass clarinets at measure 54.
Alto Sax Player: If we had 1 Bass Sax Player, we could replace all 5 Bass Clarinets!
Director: What a beastly instrument, and so Masculine.
Bass Sax Player: Sup Ladies

God. God played bass. It's as simple as that.

God was the drummer for "Heaven", until their bassist, Lucifer, got fired. Then, God had to fill in for Lucifer on bass.

bassist

The simplest meaning of a bassist is one who plays the bass. Bass players are generally overlooked by the average person who simply follow the guitar and vocals. I am not saying that is a bad thing by any means, but it is ignorance, or a lack of knowledge due to the defiance of learning, in which people state that a bass player is not necessary for a band or all bassists suck. This is entirely incorrect. Bassists like John Myung (Dream Theater), Tony Levin (liquid tension experiment), Billy Sheehan (Mr.Big), and Les Claypool(primus) have the ability to outshred and outplay even the best guitar players. Comparative to guitar, a bass is much harder to play because of a wider neck and more pressure needed to be applied to the neck. Those who are impressed by guitar players tapping...don't be. It is much more difficult on bass because it takes strength to sound the notes while you can barely touch the string on a guitar and it will sound the note. No matter what technique used on the bass guitar, it is always interesting to watch a good bass player. Like any instrument, you can learn a lot by watching good players. As far as talent goes, bassists cannot be considered inferior to guitar players for lack of talent because there are many talented bassists who have gone to schools like Berklee. A bass player is a musician, and should be held in the same esteem as all other musicians.

That bassist knew his theory.
