Basse is a hamlet in the Dutch province of Overijssel.[3] It is located in the municipality Steenwijkerland, about 7 km northwest of Steenwijk.[4]
It was first mentioned in 1425 as Bassinghe, and means "settlement belonging to Basse (person)".[5] It is a stretched out settlement. The farm Bassinghe used to contain a clandestine church.[6]
Since 1983, Basse organises the "Battle of Basse", a car and motocross on a dirt track.[7][8]
