What kind of bases are you thinking about? Well, to raid just about anything you want to be in survival mode, but I assume you mean where can you find structures?
Well, let me explain. In multiplayer, your best bet is to look for homes above ground and close to spawn if the server has raiding allowed. Otherwise... good luck finding that one guys base at y:23 surrounded by obsidian.
If you are refering to generated structures here's a list:
Dungeons: Small rooms with a mob spawner and 1-2 chests. Best bet is in caves, or if you're lucky, fallen sand in a desert biome.
Abandoned Mines: 3x3 Shafts held up with wooden supports. Often has minecart chests. Again, best bet is through spelunking.
Strongholds: Large stone brick structures with an end portal and chests. Only 3 exist, unless you're absurdly lucky your best bet is ender eyes, which are crafted with 1 enderpearl and 1 blaze powder.
Villages: Explore! They only appear in Deserts, Plains, and Savannahs(?). Your best bet is to explore.
Witch Huts: Only found in Swamps. Explore to find them.
Nether Forts: Large nether brick structures only found inside the nether. Explore, and if you find one, go north/south to easily find more!
I probably missed a whole bunch, but these are the most often sought after structures. Your best best is exploring man. Good luck though!
thank you very much for your help.... iam specifically looking for other players bases on multiplayer , some seem to be under ground? and when i see a name-tag under ground i can dig down to it and use a creeper to bust in?? sorry if i don't make a lot of sense but I'm new to the game and not the best at spelling yet so I'm using my voice to write this..

If you see a nametag underground, I would wait for them to go away or log out before digging towards the base staircase style. If it is surrounded by obsidian... good luck. You'll need a diamond pick to get through it, a creeper will not help. But yes, a majority of players build their bases far from spawn and underground, as that is by far the safest place. However, if they do build close to the spawn or any warps, odds are they have obsidian and/or lava in place to deter the raider. So again, best bet is to raid the houses and buildings you find on the surface/underwater.
I'm trying to learn how to find bases to raid and create, which mode do i start on to find bases?

FYI Obsidian looks like this:
The only one I remember that you didn't say is the desert well things.
I find it disappointing that a new player only wants to pvp. What happened to the builders?
