thumping bass

The bass line of a song with an intense driving beat which is solid and mechanical.

The music in this club is terrible, but that thumping bass keeps the booty shaking.

basse couture

This word is the opposite of "haute couture," or "high fashion." Basse couture fashion represents the glorification of the common and cheap, instead of the rare and expensive. "Basse couture" is a term that can especially apply to hipsters.

-- These english and rhetoric majors are so fashionable they almost look homeless.
-- Yeah, basse couture.

Bronte Bass

This really good singer, born into a poor family. She struggles for survival. But brings money in by preforming at children's birthday parties.

"yo who's that"
"that's Bronte bass, she ROCKS"

Bass Out

Defense mechanism of your brain preventing it from being damaged by excessive bass in a song by shutting itself down for a couple minutes/hours. The best way to bass out is to listen to ungodly dubstep drops.

-This man isn't scared to bass out.

-My 12 years old neighbor bassed out while playing Call of Duty because he wanted to show his friends how swaggy he was by putting dubstep at max volume.

String Bass

The best and most glorious of the instruments, although ridiculously large and loud. The strings are E, A, D, and G, also known as Death, Ok, Nice, and Good. The bassist's job is to act as a metronome (and to keep the violins from rushing). Be nice to them, they try their best.

Person A: Hey, I just started playing the string bass!

Person B: Good choice. It's totally the best instrument.

Drop bass

Drop bass or simply “Drop” is the largest, deepest, loudest, and most scoliosis inducing bass drum in the line. This bass is very important for any marching band.

“What drum should i pick up today?”

“I hate you so go play drop bass!”
