Well, LFE is composed of bass frequencies. But really, it's semantics. LFE is a channel composed exclusively of bass frequencies.

Bass frequencies up to the crossover frequency, anything above this point is strictly main speaker territory.

Alex, as Ken indicated, LFE is a specific channel(the .1, containing very low bass frequencies, almost entirely under 80Hz)that is present on occasion in 5.1(or 6.1)movie sources for handling extra-loud bass effects. Even there the LFE channel often has nothing in it when the movie doesn't have low frequency effects going on. Bass is a range of frequencies(typically defined as 20-200Hz)which can be present to varying degrees in all sound sources.
