Wasps put aside financial woes and held off a Bath comeback in order to win their first Premiership title at the Recreation Ground.
Bassett doubled his score, but Jonathan Joseph and Tom Dunn both made two more tries to close the gap to eight.
Yet, Wasps’ defense survived the onslaught to win a bonus-point victory.
