Have you considered writing to the Basel Historical Museum to ask if they know what it says? Surely they have to have someone on hand unless it's one of those privately run one room museums with a grand name.

e: which it isn't, looks like a proper museum with historians on staff and poo poo, I think it's worth a go.

The problem in deciphering it is really that half of it consists of apparently identical vertical lines so you kinda have to have pre-existing knowledge of the vocabulary and orthography of the time, just working out the letters ain't gonna cut it I think.
