About this listing
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 colourful 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 coloured black on both the orange and black models 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 okume 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.Designed In-HouseDesigned in the heart of London's West End by Orange Technical Director and lead designer Adrian Emsley, the O Bass was inspired by Emsley's deep love and knowledge of classic gear as well as his time spent working with bass players in 1990s Los Angeles. Emsley wanted something lightweight, long-scale, and with a classic tone, and so made his dream bass accordingly.Custom Pickup PositioningAfter witnessing the results of a bass-player friend hand-modding his own bass while living in LA in the early 90s, Emsley realised 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.SpecificationsFinish Options: Black / OrangeConstruction: 4-string fretted single cutaway / bolt-onBody: OkoumeNeck: MapleFretboard: Purpleheart fretboardElectronics: 1 x custom-wound split coil humbuckerControls: Master tone and master volumeHardware: Padded gigbag with printed Orange logo, alternative 3-ply pickguardIncluded Extras: 864 mmScale Length: R400 fretboardNut Width: 43 mmStrings: .045-.105Weight: 3.77 kg / 8.31 lbs
