Weak spot in base, some might say (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flaw

'weak spot' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'base some might say' is the wordplay.
'base' becomes 'floor'.
'some might say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'floor' sounds like 'FLAW'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for flaw that I've seen before include "Imperfection or blemish" , "Mark, blemish" , "Error in theory or plan" , "sudden rush" , "failing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
