What does BASSY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informalmusic
Having or emphasizing a strong, deep bass sound, especially in recorded or amplified music.
Bassy describes sound that leans heavily toward low frequencies, whether from a poorly balanced speaker, a muddy mix, or a deliberately heavy bassline in a genre such as dub or hip hop. A recording engineer might call a mix too bassy if the low end overwhelms the vocals and higher instruments, making the track sound muddy rather than clear. Headphones and car speakers are often marketed as bassy when they exaggerate low frequencies for a punchier listening experience. The word contrasts with tinny or trebly, which describe sound weighted toward the opposite, higher end of the spectrum.
