For the 1960 season, Basel moved to the upper league promoted SC Chemie Halle and played there 20 of the 26 upper league point games. He was mainly used as a right half-forward. After only one year, Basel left Halle and returned to SG Dynamo Hohenschönhausen, which was now playing in the second-rate first GDR league . Basel only had one season again, but due to the adjustment to the summer-spring rhythm, it ran over 39 point games.

He then ended his career as a football player.

In 1970 he was taken over by the GDR Football Association , where he also worked as a youth coach.
