{{Era|TS2U|TS3LN}}The '''bass''' is a [[musical instrument]] that can be played by Sims. It was first introduced along with the [[guitar]] and [[drums]] in ''[[The Sims 2: University]]'' expansion pack. It isn't available in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' base game, but
==The Sims 2: University==
The bass in ''The Sims 2'' can be played by Sims aged [[teen]] or older, and playing it will boost [[creativity (skill)|creativity]] skill. As the creativity skill improves, the quality of a Sim's playing improves as well, and highly skilled players may perform tricks or complicated moves while playing. The bass can be played alongside other musical instruments - the guitar, [[piano]] and drums - and performing on the bass can generate tips from other Sims; the higher the creativity skill level of the Sim playing, the higher possible tips will become (up to §100 per tip).▼

This 5-string* semi-hollow body design features a partial pre-amp, split pickups, forked tuners, fragmented lacquer finish, and divided neck. Also includes a classic half-stack 100 Watt tube amp, all at a fraction of the cost of the moiety of upright basses. Including the full Semi-Freddy bass setup making it ready to play with ease, this is an instrument fit for a demi-god.<br>*5th string not included

It was not included in ''The Sims 3'' or in its first two expansion packs or stuff packs, but the bass was included in ''The Sims 3: Late Night'', along with a related [[bass (skill)|bass]] skill. The confirmation was made on July 29, 2010 during [[The_Sims_3:_Late_Night/twitter|a Twitter interview with]] [[Grant Rodiek]], one of the game's producers; the bass is set to return, along with the piano and drums<ref>[http://twitter.com/TheSims3/status/19859473776 Tweet regarding new instruments]</ref>. Unlike in previous games, the bass that appears in this game is a double bass, rather than an electric one.▼
Playing alongside other Sims also provides a small boost to the [[Social]] [[motive]].
The bass design is based of real life Electric Upright bass guitars, which is similar in sound, and played the same as traditional Upright basses. The brand name Simbic appears to be based popular electric bass brand Alembic.
