BASS BECOMES BETTER

Experience the evolution of one of the most versatile and easy-playing electric bass guitars available. Designed in-house by Orange Technical Director and lead designer Adrian Emsley, this bass draws inspiration from classic vintage gear and decades of hands-on experience modifying instruments. Its sleek, single cutaway body crafted from premium okoumé wood, combined with a fretboard made from durable purpleheart or rosewood, offers perfect balance whether seated or standing.

The instrument’s distinctive tonal character comes from a custom-wound split-coil humbucker pickup positioned uniquely closer to the neck, delivering a deep, warm growl with a bold and defined mid-range. This setup allows players to effortlessly transition from earthy Motown-inspired R&B tones to gritty harmonic grinds reminiscent of early rock ‘n’ roll. Rolling back the tone knob reveals mellow dub and laid-back reggae vibes, making this bass an instant classic for musicians seeking authentic retro sound with buckets of personality.

Enhanced with premium binding around the body and headstock, alongside nickel top-loading 4-saddle bridge hardware and open gear tuners, the instrument combines aesthetic appeal with reliable performance. The dual-action truss rod in the maple neck ensures optimal playability, while the refined fretwork and neck molding facilitate natural movement for funky octave sweeps and dynamic playing styles.
