In January 2015, he retired from his position as a Deputy Attorney General for the [[California Attorney General|California State Attorney General]]'s office to devote himself to music.

On July 17, 2022, Bass released ''The Trio Vol. 2'' featuring the same lineup. Glide Magazine's Doug Collette remarked, "ranging from sources including Denny Zeitlin, Bud Powell, Andrew Hill and Bass himself (in four instances), spare takes on unorthodox material sound like an unending exposition of imagination; with consummate grace and alacrity, the musicians contour their motion through the twists and turns of convoluted material commencing so emphatically with Annette Peacock’s”El Cordobes.” Bass invariably leads the charge with his assertive piano work, but he is otherwise hardly more authoritative or lithe of touch than his counterparts Kerry Kashiwagi and Scott Gordon on bass and drums respectively."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Collette |first=Doug |last2=Collette |first2=Doug |date=2022-08-05 |title=Time Out Take Five: Charles Mingus, Frank Kimbrough, Dave Bass & More |url=https://glidemagazine.com/278910/time-out-take-five-charles-mingus-frank-kimbrough-dave-bass-more/ |access-date=2022-10-15 |website=Glide Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref>
