He was an expert of anatomy and dissection at the University of Washington, best known for creating, in collaboration with William Gruber, the 25-volume "Stereoscopic Atlas of Human Anatomy" in 1962.

Bassett died soon after from amyloid disease.
His materials were used in revisions and other works with permission of his widow Lucille F. Bassett.
