When a well known song with a bass drop is played on an iPhone and people dance to it as if the bass was there.
Two Girls: Hey, put on "Bend Ova" by Tyga on your iPhone!
*starts twerking and hair flipping to the beat*
Guy: "They're dancing to the implied bass"

Get the Implied Bassmug. A subwoofer of exceedingly high volume and potency. The kind of thing that gets cops knocking on your doors at any time of the day and noise ordinance violation tickets if placed into your car.

Get the bass cannonmug. An electric, portable version of the double bass designed in the 1930s and first mass produced in the early 1950s by Fender. Shaped like a guitar but larger, many people mistake the bass as a regular guitar. There are more techniques available to a bassist than a guitarist, like slapping and popping. A bass is often played fingerstyle, like a classical guitar, but some prefer to use a pick for the harder more trebly sound produced.
The bassist's role in a rock or metal band is to provide a rhythmic link between the guitar and drums, creating the foundation for a song. In a lot of avant-garde and jazz genres, the bass is featured as a solo instrument, although rock/metal bassists like Cliff Burton have used the bass in this way. A common misconception of the bass is that guitarists are able to play bass using guitar techniques, but this is untrue. A guitarist using techniques for a guitar would only be able to lay down a very simple bassline. Bassists are often overlooked in a band setting because the guitar has a higher volume and plays the role of the lead instrument in most rock and pop bands.

Get the bass guitarmug. Bass, pronounced 'Baas' means cool or 'sick'. A 'sick bass' is a cool person, a sea bass is a fish but also an uncool person.

Get the Ruffneck Bassmug. A part of a song where only the melody of the bass guitar is heard. Not to be confused with the much faster, more difficult bass solo.
Frank: hey man, you heard Five Magics by Megadeth?
Billy: the one that goes crazy fast on drums and guitar, then slows to a nice little bass groove?
Frank: thats the one. ah such a kickass song.
