Vase.

Rhymes with face.

Really? What reason could stand at the base of of your pronunciation? Can you provide even a single case where someone would lose face to embrace pronouncing it with such disgrace? I have half a mind to chase you away from this place. Or at the very least replace or erase you from this sharing space.

Whilst it is very obviously wrong, it is at least consistent with how we pronounce 'base'. English is weird.
