Orange Amps Glenn Hughes Signature Purple O Bass

A Signature O Bass in the Orange Tradition

Following the success of the Signature Crush Bass 50 Glenn Hughes combo, Orange extends the "signature" spirit to its O Bass with this Glenn Hughes version in Purple finish. It stands out from the standard model by featuring a vintage-oriented pickup choice, the Seymour Duncan SPB-1, and a checkerboard binding that strengthens its stage identity. A bass designed for those who want a strong aesthetic and an immediately recognizable sound.

For Whom and Which Styles?

The Orange O Bass Glenn Hughes Signature is aimed at beginner to intermediate bassists who want a simple, effective, and inspiring instrument, as well as seasoned musicians looking for a "plug and play" bass with a strong character. Its split-coil style pickup and minimalist electronics make it particularly comfortable in rock, hard rock, blues, and pop, providing a solid foundation and a natural presence in the mix.

The Sound

The heart of this O Bass is its Seymour Duncan SPB-1, a pickup with a vintage temperament: round attacks, prominent low-mids, and a dense bass that holds the note. The Master Volume and Master Tone controls keep it simple: you quickly switch from an open and punchy sound to a warmer, more muffled texture, ideal for pick playing as well as fingerstyle. The combination of the okoumé body and maple neck promotes a balance between warmth and definition, with a crisp response and good clarity across the entire neck.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

As this bass is a 4-string long scale (864 mm), it is compatible with long scale bass string sets. To preserve the finish and facilitate transport, the included gig bag is ideal for daily use, especially for rehearsals and urban commuting.
