Bass

Bass is one of the most beautiful musical instruments in existence - upright, electric or acoustic, whatever you like better - they're all magical.

Without bass in the room, music can be heard, but not felt.

That girl's a bassist man, she's amazing.

bassist

Short for "Bass Guitarist."

I must take issue with the idea that Punk Bassists are no good, because I can name at least three who excelled: Jah Wobble, Peter Hook, Norman Watts-Roy. QED

However - Kids, note: playing the root note of the chord eight times in a bar does NOT constitute a bass-line!

The first great bassist in rock music was John Entwistle (RIP).
The greatest exponent of the fretless bass was Jaco Pastorius (also RIP).
The greatest living bassist is Flea (not RIP yet ;-) ).
