Following the success of the Gless Hughes Signature Edition Crush Bass 50 Combo Amplifier, it is with great pleasure to announce the launch of the Glenn Hughes Signature O Bass! Just like the amplifier, the bass guitar is in a striking purple finish.

Key Features

  • Two Pickguards! – This Signature bass guitar comes an Ivory, and a Black scratchplate for you to choose from.
  • Custom Pickup Positioning – Enjoy the unique tonal quality this bass guitar gives with its unique pickup positioning.
  • Dual-Action Truss Rod – This Truss Rod helps keep the bass guitar in tune as much as possible and is simple to adjust.

Custom Pickup Positioning

After witnessing the results of a bass-player friend hand-modding his bass while living in LA in the early 90s, Ade Emsley (Orange’s Amp Designer) realized what difference an unorthodox pickup positioning made to the tone. The O Bass replicates that modification, giving the instrument a real growl, with a fatter high register to boot!

The Orange O-Bass has cemented its position as one of the easiest-playing, most colourful and most versatile bass guitars out there. The classic single cutaway body shape and the split-coil pickup are positioned slightly more neckwards than most other basses, all the better for producing that deep, warm growl.

Versatile Tone

This bass offers true diversity! 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.

A body made from west African Okoumé wood and a fretboard made from super-durable purpleheart balances the instrument to perfection whether it’s played stood up or seated.

Upgrades from the standard O Bass include a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 Bass Pickup installed and Chequerboard binding around the body and headstock for a classic and distinctive feel and look.
