Eli tuned his bass guitar carefully before rehearsal. The deep notes filled the studio, steady and smooth. In the corner, the producer adjusted the soundboard to highlight the bass tones beneath the singer’s voice. When the set ended, Eli stopped by the café next door, where an aquarium displayed a live bass swimming lazily near the glass. He laughed softly, thinking about how both kinds of bass—one heard, one seen—seemed to carry the same calm rhythm.
