Bass : as in bass guitar, bass line, sound of low rumble.  Think 
TB303.  Sub-bass, treble and bass controls on your amp, etc.  The 
bottom end of the sound curve.

Ba*S*e has a different meaning in the English language - stemming
from "basis" or "basic" or "basement" - not an aural or sonic
description.
