According to Irving Bass, the true surname is unkown. William Bass' father was a friend of the mayor. To protect his children, he gave them the mayor's surname which may have been Bashukovitz, Bashukevitz or something similar. William Benjamin had his name legally shortened to Bass when Irving was in about 2nd grade or so.
