Bass is Base was a Canadian R&B group based in North York, Ontario.

Bass is Base formed in 1993 and consisted of Chin Injeti on bass, Ivana Santilli on keyboards, and MC Mystic (Roger Mooking) on percussion. All three members contributed vocals, Injeti and Santilli as singers and Mystic as a rapper.

In 1994 the band recorded their first album, First Impressions for the Bottom Jigglers, and released it through their self-created label, "SoulShack". They also released a single from the album, "Funkmobile", which was played on Much Music, and this led to a recording contract with A&M Records. The album won a Juno Award in the Best R&B/Soul Recording category in 1995.

In 1995 the band toured through Canada with the Barenaked Ladies and the Crash Test Dummies.

In 1996 the band signed with US label Loose Cannon for American distribution and promotion. They released one top 40 hit, "I Cry".

After Bass is Base disbanded, Santilli went on to a release three solo albums. Injeti works as a producer and bass player; in 2005 he produced "hick-hop" artist Ridley Bent's debut release, Blam. Mooking left the music business, working as a chef in Toronto and as an entrepreneur in the food industry; he returned to release two albums of soul music in 2008 and 2013.
