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.
