Description
After an initial run in 2015 to huge public and critical acclaim, the Orange O Bass is back with some tweaks, both big and small, to cement its position as one of the easiest-playing, most colorful and most versatile bass guitars out there. The improvements: immediately obvious is the binding that’s been added all round the instrument to give a premium feel, and the headstock is now colored black for a timeless, classic look. But plenty of innovation lurks beyond the cosmetic, too, helping the O Bass play even better than ever. A body made from West African Okumé wood and a fretboard now made from super-durable Purpleheart balances the instrument to perfection whether it’s played stood up or seated, and with the fretwork and neck moulding retooled with playability in mind, jumping around the neck and funky octave swoops have never felt more natural.
Custom pickup positioning
After witnessing the results of a bass-player friend hand-modding his own bass while living in LA in the early 90s, Adrian Emsley, Orange's Technical Director and Lead Designer, realized what difference an unorthodox pickup positioning made to the tone. The O Bass replicates that modification, giving the instrument real growl, with a fatter high register to boot.
