bassist 是可数名词，复数形式为 bassists。汉语名词没有复数变化，英语中 three 后要用复数，因此必须加 -s。
She plays bassist in a jazz band.She plays bass in a jazz band.
bassist 指‘贝斯手’，是演奏者；乐器本身是 bass。表达‘演奏某种乐器’要用 play + 乐器名，所以应说 plays bass，不能说 plays bassist。
She is bassist in the band.She is a bassist in the band.
bassist 是单数可数名词，不能单独作表语，前面需要不定冠词 a，表示‘一位贝斯手’。因此 She is a bassist 才是正确形式。
