bass
Angler's striped prize
Bass has two distinct meanings with different pronunciations.
Rhyming with "face," a bass is a fish—several species of freshwater and saltwater fish popular with anglers: We caught some largemouth bass.
Rhyming with "face," bass refers to the lowest range of musical pitch, the instruments that produce such tones, or a singer with a deep voice: He plays bass in a jazz trio, a rich bass voice.
A bass guitar or double bass anchors the rhythm section.
Bass-heavy music emphasizes low frequencies: Turn up the bass.
