Your Retro Dreams Just Came True

Orange isn’t all about amps. Birthed from the mind of Adrian Emsley, the company's technical director, the O-Bass shines with vintage appeal and retro radiance that make it the perfect bass for vintage voice chasers. The O-Bass stands as a proud amalgamation of Emsley’s bass knowledge acquired over a lifetime of hands-on experience modding and designing basses. Finally, he landed upon pure gold — rather, pure orange. Built from a lightweight and resonant okoume body, maple neck, and purpleheart fingerboard, this sleek and shapely bass has thrilled players of all stripes at Sweetwater with its insatiable custom-wound split-coil humbucker tone.

A bass made for rockin’

The Orange O-Bass features one radical, custom-wound, split-coil humbucker that’ll shake the walls and raise the roof. From warm, earthy tones reminiscent of Motown mojo to infectious aggression and harmonic grind reminiscent of early rock ’n’ roll, the O-Bass churns out tone with plenty of sonic personality. Bassists looking for a light bass with that P-Bass flare will find it right here. Just plug in, adjust your volume and tone, and rock out with well-balanced bass response and a bold, defined midrange.

Playability that mirrors fantastic tone

Apart from its barking bite, the Orange O-Bass offers some sleek playability courtesy of its engineering and design. Bassists that go hard: the O-Bass will play hard right along with you, thanks to a bolt-on maple neck that plays fast and feels comfortable in the hand even during long gigs. Plus, its reasonably lightweight okoume body won’t drag you down when you’re holding down the low end. Not to mention, its unique body shape combined with a dapper pickguard won’t fail to turn heads. Lastly, a sturdy nickel top-loading bridge anchors strings while open-gear tuners hold down your tuning with vintage aesthetic appeal.

So good I bought two

I purchased one when they first came out as I was looking for something cheap in price. I was very surprised as this bass out-performs basses three times the cost. Extremely versatile. It definitely has thunder AND clarity.
I purchased my second one last year. Each new bass comes with two pickguards - one is black and the other is white. I purchased both of mine in the actual orange color - but one has the black pickguard and the other is white. Yes, I'm a dork
Only downfall is neck dive. Both of mine are heavy so not sure about being sold as a "light" bass. I love these basses

Fantastic bass for the money

Just received this last weekend and cannot put down. Orange has outdone itself. Stunningly gorgeous bass. Has a nice little growl similar to my Jaguar bass but with much more tone. Playing everything from Beatles to Black Sabbath to Bob Marley. Sounds amazing. Nice binding all around. I was a little worried about not having a contour where arm would sit while playing but not a problem. Play for hrs without discomfort. There is a pretty substantial neck dive but I generally sit while playing so not a problem for myself but it could be a problem for people who stand while playing. Other than that I highly recommend. Great set up again by Sweetwater and nice padded gig bag included. So glad I purchased
