Orange O Bass 4 String Guitar Black

The Orange O Bass returns in 2022 with a vengeance, building upon its legendary 2015 debut that captured hearts across the music world. This isn’t just another reissue – Orange has refined both the big picture and fine details to solidify the O Bass as one of the most playable, vibrant and adaptable bass guitars available today. The classic single cutaway body shape remains, along with that distinctive split-coil pickup positioned slightly closer to the neck than most basses, creating the signature deep, warm growl that made the original so special.

Tonally, the O Bass continues to punch well above its weight with remarkable versatility. A gentle playing style unlocks rich Motown territory with earthy RnB undertones, while more aggressive attack reveals an infectious harmonic grind reminiscent of rock ’n’ roll’s golden era. Roll back the tone control and you’ll find yourself swimming in mellow dub textures and laid-back reggae vibes.

The 2022 improvements are immediately apparent, starting with premium binding around the entire instrument and a sleek black headstock on both orange and black models for that timeless aesthetic. Beyond the visual upgrades, Orange has focused heavily on playability – the west African okoumé body paired with a super-durable purpleheart fretboard creates perfect balance in any playing position. Retooled fretwork and neck profiling make navigating the fingerboard effortless, turning funky octave runs and complex passages into second nature. The O Bass already had more character and adaptability than most competitors could dream of, and this makeover has only widened that gap.
