It's a phrase from an old video game that was translated to english. They got it wrong and it resulted in a number of funny phrases. It has nothing to do with the bass guitar.

"Someone set us up the bomb!"

The biggest craze on the net pre-Chuck Norris. I think it was bigger.

I remembered a time when you couldn't talk about computers without someone hearing about that, or someone would hear about it for the first time and instantly send out 100 emails telling their friends.

Leeroy didn't last a year.

All Your Base has been around since like 2000.
