No, you don't need to baste the bird.
The liquid has no time to absorb and you are just getting the skin in any case which should be turning nice and crispy.

I like it basted, with butter and herbs, under the skin, then butter spread all over the skin and sprinkled with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then spray with PAM and use a turkey baster to take excess out of the pan and spread it over the bird a few times during cooking.
