The junior rank to 'Bassist' in the world of bass.
You are only truly a 'bassist' once you've proven your worth to your bass community. However, cutting your teeth in your first gig(s) and proving your ability to play the instrument with some skill makes you a 'Bassman'.
Some people prefer to keep this title because it sounds cool. For example in 1969 Paul McCartney gigged with a 'Bassman' sticker on his 'Violin bass'.

Having watched thine performance at the show, I dubb thee... 'Bassman'.
Oh, that's Steve, the Bassman.

The biggest baddest MC in the drum and bass/jungle scene. Bassman used To be a part of the shadow demon coalition (SDC) alongside Trigga and Shaydee but any real fan knows he is the original shadow demon.
However everyone knows his most defining feature is his middle finger this is raver folklore it’s length is unknown some claim it even grows in length depending on how filthy the tune is some claim not even bass himself knows as no instrument of measurement exists that big.
