Abstract
Right Bass rings are investigated, that is, rings over which any nonzero right module has a maximal submodule. In particular, it is proved that if any prime quotient ring of a ringA is algebraic over its center, thenA is a right perfect ring iffA is a right Bass ring that contains no infinite set of orthogonal idempotents.
