No, in keeping with musical theme COJ once made with Rock, Roll, Blues, Gospel, Forte...

After ######## up the first 50 names, COA got the hang of the names. They actually made a good translation, Bass (as in Bass clef) and Treble (clef) which makes more sense than Forte (loud) and Gospel (music style, like the blues). You say it like base.

No, you can\'t eat Bass like you can sea-bass so it\'s pronounced base.

I know for a fact that it is pronounced \'base\' so tell you frient this and even print this off if he dosn\'t believe you! It\'s Bass as in the \'Bass\' clef, \'Bass\' Guitar. They\'re all musical themes, in MegaMan.

It is pronounced Base. But I really don\'t care since I always call him Forte.

Same here. Although Bass and Treble makes more sense than Forte and Gospel, even if they sound cooler. :P

Whatever... \'\"Base\" sounds stupid. I call him Bass as in bastard. I like that better. Me and my friends call him that. \"Base\" is so weird and sounds like baseball. That\'s why I find it stupid. Anyways Amidamaru, go for what you believe in best. Since it seems no one can agree here.

Techniclly, Bass as the fish is incorrect. Yet, though I know that, I can\'t keep myself from calling him that as it does sound less stupid. I call him Forte (JAP Name) so I don\'t make that mistake often.

I call him... ...never mind. ;^^ I pronounce it as like the fish. Yes, Capcom tried to make the reference to the musical bass but the voice actress for Megaman taught me which way to say it. Oh well; it\'s not like anyone understands me when I talk any ways. ;^^

It is B-Ase. Some sent Capcom some questions and one was how you say Bass. They said it was the bass like as in the base in baseball, not the fish. Thats what Capcom said.

Everyone stop arguing! It can be pronouced any way you want. Though the proper way is Bass as in a Bass Guitar or a military base.

No one\'s arguing. They are just merely expressing what they feel. I feel that I should call Bass, bass. What\'s wrong with expressing ourselves? I don\'t see any problem here. ^_^ Everything is fine. We are just telling Amidamaru how we pronounce Bass. Have a nice day everyone! ^_^

Why ask Capcom?

Megaman names in their ORIGINAL meanings

Rock (& Roll)
Roll (Rock \'n\' Roll is a style of music)
Forte (Loud)
Gosple (A type of music)
Treble (A cleff)
Bass (Pronounced \'Base\' and it\'s a far lower cleff)
MMX5 bosses (Named after members of Guns \'n\' roses)

Get it? Very musical.:D
