The best bits of the original O Bass have been retained: there s the classic single cutaway body shape and the split- coil pickup positioned slightly more neckwards than most other basses, all the better for producing that deep, warm growl. The diverse options for tone are still in place, 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. 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.
