Bass started his career with Scunthorpe Saints in 1972.[3] He was the only rider to reach 200 points in what was a disappointing year for the Saints.His next two years were with Long Eaton Speedway[4] He would have rides for British League teams but was never signed to ride as a full-time rider.As the 1975 season ended, Harry Bastable and Tony Allsopp, promoters at Stoke, moved the licence to Oxford for 1976,[5] when Oxford Rebels moved to White City Stadium when it was feared the stadium would be demolished.[6]
