The Orange O Bass features a classic single cutaway body shape with the split-coil pickup positioned slightly more neckwards than most other basses, all the better for producing that deep, warm growl yet with diverse options for tone, too: players with a softer touch can be transported to Motown territory, with earthy RnB overtones in abundance, but dig in a little deeper and the O Bass responds with an infectious harmonic grind that recalls the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. Alternatively, roll back the tone knob and revel in clouds of mellow dub and laid-back reggae.

The body is made from west African okoumé wood and the fretboard is made from super-durable purpleheart. Doubly colourful!
