Bass

Bass (noun, /bæs/ in most American and British usage) refers to a low-frequency sound or voice, especially the lowest male voice or a musical range. It also denotes a type of fish.

The word carries distinct senses depending on context, but the pronunciation remains the same in standard dialects.
