bass guitar

A combination of an upright (or double) bass and an electric guitar. Similar to percussion, the bass guitar is used in almost every type of music in common circulation (the exception being, of course, percussion ensembles). Tuned one octave lower than an average electric guitar, the bass guitar is very easy to pick up and attain instant results, but very hard to master. Prominent styles on the bass guitar include slapping, tapping, and plucking.
Classic bass guitar players include Paul McCartney, Victor Wooten, and Sting.

Bass reduction surgery

A play on words of breast reduction surgery, a term used when you set the E.Q on your ipod (or any music player) to reduced bass. Considered pussyish as bass only supplies a light pulse with the music, most people would prefer bass boost, because the stock ipod headphones sound crap despite that most people have them intend of a proper pair, like Sennheiser or Bose, or anything else. Although bass reduction surgery is acceptable if the user has a very bassy pair of head phones, like skull crushers or beats.
Tom: Ah, shit, the base is hurting my ears, im gonna set the E.Q to bass reduction.

Me: I don't see why you need bass reduction surgery your only using your shitastic stock ipod headphones that came with your ipod, they don't have any bass anyway, pussy.

bass player

the beat of a band, usually over looked and thought of as an easy thing to be but it is hard to find a right style and way to play. Also its allot hard for a band to be a good band without a bassist, though over looked without a bass most bands are crap, usually hangs out with the drummer because he is usually over looked too because the bass and drums are not for show like the lead singer or lead guitarist.
