Orange O-BassSunburst
The O Bass is the brainchild of Orange Technical Director and lead designer Adrian Emsley, whose inspirationcame fromhis 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.
Orange O-BassSunburst
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 – familiar, yet somehow all of its own.A custom-wound split–coil pickup bears a very distinctive sonic mojo, with a well-balanced bass response and abold 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 aninfectious harmonic grindthat harks back to the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. As Emsley puts it, “It growls like a policeman’s dog!”
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, wewereinundated with requests to put it into production.
