History

Colin Bass started his musical career as a guitarist in a band called Krisis in 1968. Then he moved to Velvet Opera in 1970 as a bassist. Unfortunately there is no recorded material with him left. In 1972 he met Ernie Graham with whom he created Clancy, releasing two consecutive albums till it disbanded in 1976. From autumn 1976 till spring 1977 he played with Steve Hillage's band touring USA and European countries ending their tour in London. In 1978 Colin Bass joined Camel. They recorded two albums and toured together in Japan and Europe. In 1981 he left the band for a short time to pursue a solo career in Paris, France. He rejoined Camel in 1984 during their tour. After 1984 the group suspended their activity for almost eight years. In the meantime Colin played with London based group African band Orchestra Jazira, and in 1985 he joined 3 Mustaphas 3 as Sabah Habas Mustapha. From that moment many of his works were signed by that name. In 1991 the trio was no longer playing together and Colin created a duo with another Mustapha's member Ben Mandelson (also known as Hijaz Mustapha). The band was called The Tension Mounting Boys. From 1991 he's been playing again with Camel frequently. From 1997 he is Camel's full time member. In 1994 Sabah Habas Mustapha created a record company in Indonesia, and released his best selling album Denpasar Moon signed by that name. The album included song under the same title, which was a succesful hit. There were over 50 covers of the song released. Unfortunately Colin Bass didn't get much of the royalties due to intricate nature of Asian laws. Three years later Colin Bass moved to Java. There he worked with many local musicians blending different ethnic styles of music with progressive rock. He also toured many European countries like Poland. He recorded some of his albums there too. Colin Bass has also been a radio presenter in Berlin SFB Radio 4.
