Also known as the electric bass or just “bass”, the Bass Guitar is a musical instrument invented by Seattle based musician, Paul Tutmarc on 1930, and Leo Fender, who made the first successful Bass Guitar on 1951 with the Fender Precision Bass. The bass guitar was built similarly to a guitar, but made to replace the the Double Bass, or Upright Bass.
The Bass uses pickups, magnets that detects the vibration of bass’s thick string, and transmit them into the Amp to produce deep sound. This is done by plucking the strings with your fingers, or picking them.
The Bass plays an important role in music. Connecting the drums to the treble and providing a rhythmic foundation to the rest of the members.
This and it’s versatility gave birth to many new playing techniques and variations of the bass, many of them caused bassist’s wallets to go dry.
The Bass Guitar cemented itself in western music and, to this day, is important to many genres of music.

Get the bass-stain mug.The Doom Bass is an urban myth of sorts. For a lack of first hand experience here is a shortened version of the myth:
One day, about 20 years ago, Jimmy, a student in an AP Calculus AB class, tried to convince his teacher that the derivative was just a point on a function. Infuriated, his teacher plotted.
It was a dark and stormy night when it happened. Around 3 AM the sound of the door bell resonated throughout his house and Jimmy walked down stairs. He opened the door and before he even knew what hit him, he was on the ground. Time and time again, his teacher smacked him over the head with a freshly thawed fish. The odor could be smelt from miles away.
The student returned to the class the following day. Although his head was bruised, he had read his textbook and now he knew the definition of the derivative. Appalled at his bruised condition, a fellow classmate asked him "what happened to you." He turned his head slowly and said.."it was the Doom Bass."
Thus the Doom Bass Was born

Get the Doom Bass mug.A type of bass voice range that feature the quality and texture of a true baritone voice. It can be debatable when this specific register is classified either bass or baritone.
Paul Robeson was one of the greatest singers in the 20th century and fought for civil rights. He experienced his singing from a congregation that was owned by his father, who was a born from a family of freed slaves. In his opinion, he described his singing voice as a baritone. It can be debatable because his voice recorded in audio is described by listeners as a true bass voice. So, the correct and appropriate term for his register is a bass-baritone.
The same with Barry White, who was debated by his audience as either bass or baritone. But, he identified his voice register or as he put it "his instrument" as a bass-baritone in front of his audience respectfully without any conflict.
