What does BASS mean in Scrabble?
noun
music
The lowest range of musical pitch, or an instrument or singing voice that produces it.
In music, bass describes the deepest and lowest sounding part of a piece, whether it is played on a double bass or an electric bass guitar, sung by the lowest male voice, or simply the low frequencies coming from a set of speakers. The same spelling, pronounced differently, also names a freshwater or sea fish, an entirely separate word that happens to share its letters.
