Electric bass in a successful retro style
The redesigned Orange O Bass Black combines the successful retro charm of the popular original with a number of interesting visual and construction details.

The four-piece maple neck of the O Bass promises first-class playing characteristics.
Singlecut Bass with first-class playing characteristics
In the design of the O Bass, Orange not only pays special attention to successful retro looks but also to buttery-soft playing characteristics that suit beginners and advanced players alike. The body in classic single-cut shape is made of resonance-friendly okoumé wood from West Africa, while the quadruple-bolted maple neck carries a fretboard made of durable purpleheart. The not-too-beefy C-profile with a pleasant 43 mm nut width promises comfortable handling and plenty of room for clean note gripping.
A custom-wound split-coil with traditional passive switching provides rich bass sounds with authentic vintage character at the bass amp.
Custom-Wound Split-Coil
At the bass amp, the O Bass delivers a rich palette of premium retro tones that range from fat Motown grooves to rich growling rock riffs. The custom-wound split-coil pickup of the OrangeBass is placed closer to the neck and reacts sensitively to the intensity of the attack, presenting every note with a deep midrange foundation and velvety treble spectrum. To customize the Bass sound, Orange also equips the electric bass guitar with a traditional passive-electrical system consisting of a volume control and a treble trim.
Classic open-gear bass machine heads guarantee accurate and stable tuning of the Orange O Bass.
