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 ;-) ).

Băsism

Băsism is a far-right political movement founded by the former Romanian president Traian Băsescu. It consists in placing stupid people and mistresses in ruling positions, an ongoing fight with an adversary, politicians changing their political parties for their own benefits and spreding hate towards people (between the Romanians but also towards Roma people, Jews, Muslims and immigrants). The first party to have this ideology was PDL, but today it is used by all the Romanian parties, especially by PMP (Băsescu's party).
Look at Mihail Neamțu. He's a huge fan of Băsism.

Bassist

1) A musician who plays the bass guitar (or bass); the long version is a bass guitarist.

And apparently...
2) A person who hates bass or bass guitarist (combining a word such as "racist" to "bass")
Although, that gets extremely and ironically confusing.
~ "Oh my god! That bassist is fighting the bassist!"
- "Uh, what? You mean that two bass players are hitting each other?"
~ "No! It started when a bassist in the audience was talking down the bassist on the stage."
- "Why?"
~ "Because that bassist insulted that bassist for being a bassist, what a bassist wouldnormally do."
- "(?_?)............... okay..."

bassim

Bassim is a complex work of art. He loves to create crazy patterns in order to find a meaningful rational concepts. Most of the time you would find him trying to reach better knowledge about the world he lives in. Some other times, Bassim would just let his imagination find the truth he wants and tell you we are living in a watermelon world. His personality is insanely attractive, as he's made from perfect shiny gold. Not surprisingly, Bassim would be the brightest light in your day, the sunshine of your dreams and the reason why you want to live. You want to fall in love with Bassim so you can start your true life.
When Johnny Cash was asked how he would define paradise, he replied 'this morning, with her, having coffee'. Replace, her with Bassim, and you would have a tiny idea of how heaven could be defined. It's so much more, into Bassim's arms.

Bassim is a beautiful humain being, a bright soul and an amazing lover.

Bassim, why are you so late ? Sorry, too busy misbehaving with my one.
