Every once in a while an airbrush pops up that is really nice and
doesn't catch on. Unfortunately, the Bass is one of those
airbrushes. It was made in the late
1970's and early 1980's in Northridge, California, a suburb of Los
Angeles by Donald Bass. The handle is made of nylon and is very
comfortable and easy to use. It’s a basic single action,
external mix airbrush and it will accept the same cups or bottles
as a Paasche H or Badger 350. The major differences are the
3/8" thick white nylon body's funny ergonomic shape, the
trigger mounted farther forward than usual, and the air inlet at
the rear. These combine to give it a balance and feel that are
exceptional. It's too bad that wasn't successful because it's a
high quality airbrush and is far more comfortable to use than a
similar Paasche or Badger. A lack of advertising doomed it the
marketplace.
