the awesome act of playing kickass solos on a bass, just like Billy Sheehan and Cliff burton did. It is an art that's slowly going extinct, because narrow minded, guitar-turned noobs keep sayin "a bass is a rhythm instrument"

An instrument, usually with 4 or 5 strings, modeled after the classical double bass (upright bass), which plays in lower regesters than the average guitar.
Some say the bass is easy to learn, which is debateable, but there is no question that the bass (or any instrument for that matter) is VERY difficult to master.
The idea to put a bass in the guitar shape and size came about in the 1930s' when inventor Paul Tutmarc designed the first electric, guitar styled bass, designed to be played horizontally. It was called the Model #736, and was produced by audivox.
Later on, in the 50s' Leo Fender developed the first mass produce bass guitar.His fender precesion bass or "pbass" soon became the standard in industry and was widely copied. It was designed from a single slap of wood, much like a telecaster, and featured a simple four pole pick up system.
In the 1960s' fender came out with the jazz bass. It featured 2 single coil pick ups, one closer to the bridge, the other in the percision bass position. Also, it feature a narrower neck that that of the precision bass. Furthermore, the 'jbass" had volume controlls for each pick up, which made more sounds possible
Since then the bass guitar has evolved with the time to suit the needs of the player and the style of music the bassists performs. Some notable high quality bass guitar manufactures are pedulla, warwick, mtd, alembic, ken smith, modulus, ernie ball, and of course fender. Line 6 has even come out with a modeling bass, which is made to imitate the different sounds of different basses with the turn of a nob. Furthermore, basses are now being made with more than 14 strings, so a bass player will never run out of neck room.
It is improtant to note that as an instrument, the bass is very young. Though there are many styles of bass playing, the sky is still the limit. Great players like victor wooten, flea, les claypool, stanley clarke, stu hamm, and marcus miller are pioneering new styles and techniques every day. And lets not forget the late great Jaco Pastorious, the man who made the bass what it is today. if you want to hear how bass should be played, check out jaco.

a bass party is the name of a party ( at a house or club) where dubstep, drum and bass, house, trap, and other related genre's of electronic music are played. Nothing like the kandi scene at raves, but rather darker and still loaded with beezys. Bass parties are to electro, as heavy metal is to rock :)

Nigga Bass is a term used to describe a type of bass that is characterized by frequencies centered in the 50-80hz region. The bass is also of a high Q variety and tends to linger past the initial note. This causes the infamous boominess that travels well beyond one's car stereo (the traditional domain of nigga bass) and into surrounding vehicles. Nigga bass has these characteristics because cheap low quality equipment can recreate the boominess.
In other words, nigga bass is sloppy, "one-note," uncontrolled bass.
Nigga bass is very common in R&B, Rap, Hip-hop, and some of the more recent pop music, especially the type enjoyed by preteens and tweens.
