bass
'der Bass' and 'der Bariton' can both refer to male voices or singers. But they are not at the same pitch level. The bass is the lowest male voice range. The baritone is in the middle, between tenor and bass. Learners may confuse them because both are relatively low male voices and appear in choirs or operas. If the voice is very low, you say 'Bass'; for a middle male voice, you say 'Bariton'.
