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.

Get the All about the bass mug.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.
