The O Bass is the brainchild of Orange Technical Director and lead designer Adrian Emsley, whose inspiration came from his self-confessed love of vintage gear. Having spent a lifetime modifying all manner of bass guitars, the O Bass brings together all of his know-how in a unique and truly charismatic instrument.
Aside from its impeccably sleek lines and shapely aesthetics, the O Bass delivers the goods where it really matters. Plugging in reveals a sound with buckets of personality â familiar, yet somehow all of its own. A custom-wound splitâcoil pickup bears a very distinctive sonic mojo, with a well-balanced bass response and a bold and defined mid-range. Players with a softer touch will immediately find themselves in Motown territory, with earthy overtones in abundance. Dig in a little more aggressively and the O Bass responds with an infectious harmonic grind that harks back to the birth of rock ânâ roll. As Emsley puts it, âIt growls like a policemanâs dog!â
The O Bass first made an appearance in an early form as a demonstrator piece at the 2014 winter NAMM show, hidden from public view in the Orange booth. However, having been leaked on a number of videos on the internet, we were inundated with requests to put it into production. ⢠FINISH OPTIONS: TEAR DROP SUNBURST ď˝ OFF-BLACK ď˝ ORANGE ⢠CONSTRUCTION: 4 STRING FRETTED SINGLE CUTAWAYď˝ BOLT ON ⢠BODY: OKOUMĂ ď˝BASSWOOD VENEER ď˝ A.B.S.
